"the minister had the task to tell stories to make us self-aware and to be nice to one another."

And considering the horrible people who often attend church, and the awful things they say behind one another's backs, this is, apparently, an impossible task...

But all things considered, maybe they'd be even worse if they didn't go to church. Maybe they'd all be serial killing zombies. Who can know? I suspect not, though. And I think it's possible if people had no faith in forgiveness, and really had to live with their horrible actions, they might do more good in the world and less evil. But maybe that's too optimistic. (There are some experiments on this. Remember that test of seminary students? It didn't go too well)
