  i've generally enjoyed msnbc's new line up this summer but one recent interview really got to me so i wrote the following letter to the editor.

  any other viewers out there get a similar or different impression?.

  kind regards - kinsman.

  Why be a good person?

  for most people, the question why be good--as distinguished from merely law abiding--is a simple one.

  because god commands it, because the bible requires it, because good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell.

  the vast majority of people derive their morality from religion.

  i thought the information in a recent study (graduate center survey of religion in america) might be of interest to some who frequent this board.

  52% percent of adults in america are protestant, 24.5% are catholic, and 14.1% adhere to no religion, according to the latest american religious identification survey, 2001 just released by the graduate center of the city university of new york.

  those giving their religion as jewish are 1.3% and those as muslim or islamic are 0.5%.. from 1990 - 2001:.

  Is Islam at Fault?

  even in these early days of the 21st century its still politically correct to say; ...islam is not to blame; ...religion is not to blame; ...religion in general produces good not bad, ...religion is only from time to time perverted by ruthless and depraved individuals; ...these individuals are the evil within religion not the basic religious tenants common in all of mankinds great faith-based traditions.

  president bush himself states that islam has been hijacked by a few extremists, and that islam itself and the muslim people are a peace-loving people supported and encouraged by a peace-loving religion.

  many argue that religion is the primary motivator and even cause of good in human society.
