Religion doesn't show weakness in society per se, but it does damage society in a variety of ways when it clashes with other ways of understanding the world. One of the questions which isn't usually raised is how the religions of the world would act if a TOE explained GUT, the birth of the universe and quantum gravity etc etc without the need for a God. Would religion be able to co-exist so amiably with science if this happened, and would we see a degradation of our morals and values if such a discovery were to be made?
