Religion Without Devil

There are people in this country who, if I told them there was no such being as the devil, will think all religion is gone. Many people have said to me, how can there be religion without a devil? 

How can there be religion without someone to direct us? How can we live without being ruled by somebody? 

We like to be so treated, because we have become used to it. We are not happy until we feel we have been reprimanded by somebody every day. 
The same superstition!
