I agree with you. Plato believes that a nation cannot be strong unless it believes in God. A mere cosmic force, or first cause, or elan vital, that was not a person, could hardly inspire hope, or devotion, or sacrifrice. It could not offer comfort to the hearts of the distressed, nor courage to embattled souls. But a living God can do all this, and can stir or frighthen the self-seeking individualist into some moderation of his greed, some contol of his passion. All the more so if to belief in God is added belief in personal immortality. The hope of another life gives us courage to meet our own death and to bear with the death of our loved ones; we are twice armed if we fight fight with faith.
Have a wonderful day!
