Pope Benedict XVI stated recently " Genuine religion ... stands at the base of any authentically human culture." He said. "It rejects all forms of violence and totalitarianism: not only on principles of faith but also of right reason."

So, is "genuine religion" something broader than belief in a particular a particular organized religion, and is it that which makes civilization possible?
