Should we have works and faith? or faith only?

The lazy people do the faith thing without lifting a finger towards carrying it out. People such as Mother Theresa, brain surgeons, mathematicians and physicists actually put their faith to work, either with religion or without. So, faith and works still go together when religion is eliminated. If religion stumbles people so much that they no longer benefit society with works, perhaps bagging the religion is a good idea. Becoming too attached to something is self destructive. That condition is called 'codependent.'
