True. Even for people who are more secular than religious, teachings from Christianity have a lot to offer. I just hate it when people become too righteous, doing or saying stupid things, and hiding behind a faith. This includes Fundamentalist Christians, Islamic Terrorists and *ahem* followers of other faiths
