As such, it is the anemic sibling of religion.   

It is a feeble concoction of ramblings down roads that lead nowhere except to confusion and depression.   

Show me a philosopher with no religious conviction and Iïll show You a pathetic fool.   

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Col 2:8
