I am a better person because of my religeon than I would be without it. No other institution, save that of my family, I have ever encountered, could have taught me morality so successfully.

Your family could easily have taught you morality in the absence of religion. It happens all the time. Religion is in no way required for morality.

True, and my religeon would have had a hard time teaching me morality if my family didn't. But the two of them together taught me morality more effectively than either apart. To not leave out other influences, fiction books I read also taught me morality. I am always annoyed when someone says 'But the're just fiction. How could they be usefull?'
And I would also be annoyed if someone advocated banning atheism.
