Very great post DT. However, I'm not sure why we need the distinction between two concepts that are equally at fault here. Believing in a divine being is ground for many injustices. For instance, people think others deserve their lot in life, because there's a divine being that makes sure people get what they deserve. Or that their good fortune is because they have been great human beings and equally whatever bad happens to them is some kind of test. It's that sense of righteousness that is not constructive for a society.
