The Chief Rabbi of England has written an interesting article, in which he proposes the challenge of our time.
It is just that, in the words of historian Will Durant, 'There is no significant example in history, before our time, of a society successfully maintaining moral life without the aid of religion.'
Durant's point is the challenge of our time. I have not yet found a secular ethic capable of sustaining in the long run a society of strong communities and families on the one hand, altruism, virtue, self-restraint, honour, obligation and trust on the other. A century after a civilisation loses its soul it loses its freedom also.
