What other global concerns can religion take on?

Last week we discussed Karen Armstrong’s Charter for Compassion

“People want to be religious, says scholar Karen Armstrong; we should help make religion a force for harmony. She asks the TED community to help build a Charter for Compassion — to restore the Golden Rule as the central global religious doctrine.” Want to learn more about the charter?

A few weeks…. Yes I said weeks…. After her talk, Karen Armstrong gave another talk at TEDGlobal. Seems her idea is catching on.

What are YOUR thoughts on that?
