Ani DiFranco comment on religion

Here's a quote from Ani DiFranco (famous folk-ish singer) on religion. It pretty much coincides with what I think. Except for the part about being atheist.


"Well, I'm not a religious person myself. I'm an atheist. I think religion serves a lot of different purposes in people's lives, and I can recognize the value of that, you know, the value of ceremony, the value of community, or even just having a forum to get together and talk about ideas, about morals — that's a cool concept. But then, of course, institutional religions are so problematic."
