Why did you think it was a piece of nonsense? What did you disagree with?
I am willing to concede that religion may help people live more fulfilling lives. And I'm willing to accept that you do not share my naturalistic world view, which we can debate elsewhere. But I did not see any part of the video that I would disagree with.

perhaps it was the false assertion, which to be quite frank was utterly contemptible, in which he stated that religion was of no practical use, because it was overly concerned with the afterlife and as a direct consequence has failed to tackle 'real problems'. It strikes me, quite unerringly as a piece of nonsense. If you are in disagreement that it is nonsense, then let your explanations be heard, for i can assure you, that millions of persons have benefited, in very real and practical terms, through the application of biblical principles, and i would even go as far to state, that it has been the neglect and suppression of these principles which has caused more real world problems than anything i can care to mention. You are of course free to disagree, never the less, let us here what is in your mind. I very briefly gave a small summery of 'real', instances in which persons have been helped through the application of biblical principles in their lives, if you have any assertion as to why that is deficient, impractical, should be done away with, then please also let these thoughts be heard. π
