I have to agree with the OPs original point. I do believe their is a correlation but I am legally bound to agree with any statement made against the church or conservatives or lose my membership in the super secret liberal left Mouseketeers club and lose my decoder ring. I will add that I read a book with some very nice little moral gems in it like:
do unto others bla bla bla
Blessed are the poor
the meek shall inherit something or other
I don't know, Im no expert but it sure does seem like the old timey religion at least pretended to believe in that stuff
remember, faith without works is meaningless and you show your faith through your works
