What are some writers that talk about the practical benefits of state religion and acknowledging religiosity?
After all, the whole discussion about the truth-claims of religion is ultimately irrelevant, what's needed is an analysis of what religion represents, how would people have a unified morality without it, etc. These are important questions.
