Religion creates community, community creates altruism and altruis

Religion creates community, community creates altruism and altruism turns us away from self and towards the common good… There is something about the tenor of relationships within a religious community that makes it the best tutorial in citizenship and good neighborliness. – Jonathan Sacks
