We can't rid ourselves of religion any more than we can rid our selves of philosophy. All communities need to have measures to protect itself otherwise it will cease to exist- there is some question as to which measures are valid. Some communities use a system of creative destruction to "ensure stability". This has some relationship with the 'Overton Window'.
