Orson Scott Card on religion

One Hand Clapping links to a quote from writer
Orson Scott Card:
Here is one simple truth, borne out by statistics over many decades and generations: The religions that demand of their members some real and rational degree of sacrifice, obedience, and adherence to faith are growing stronger and stronger; while the ones that say, in effect, that you can do what you want and God doesn’t expect much of us anymore, except to be vaguely nice - they are losing members rapidly.
Because if it doesn’t matter what you do, then why would you bother to belong?
That water is deep...
