I really like the way you ended it. I read a book (by a shamaness, no less), that said gods died when no one believed/worshipped that particular god anymore. I got where she was coming from. While I agree with the journalist, Hedges assertion that religion makes a good man good and a bad man bad, and have no problem with most religiophilosophies that don’t actively seek to damage our habitat and fellow inhabitants thereof, some gods and religions just need to die before they kill us all. Dominionism, for example.
