With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead
“In a democracy, I realize you don’t need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels. When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that’s the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.” - Jimmy Carter

You gotta be kidding. Do you know how many people will remember that one?
Seriously. The goal of advertising.
Most ads 'fail' because while people think they are really funny or done well, people don't remember which product it was for.
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)
That would be "A" goal, not "THE" goal of advertising. Depending where you are with market recognition, development of brand image becomes as big a deal as remembering who advertised and how. At this level (i.e. being able to buy a 30 second spot for the Superbowl), most if not all advertisers should be able to claim market recognition, the favorable/unfavorable reactions the advertisements create brand impact as much if not moreso than simply remembering a company's name (especially at this level).

THE GOAL of advertising is to get somebody to do what you want them to do... usually buy a product.
For that to happen:
They do have to KNOW your product
They have to see that the it fills one of their needs
Understand that it is the best choice to fulfill their needs
And then have to take action or buy the product.
This is done with a combination of awareness building, brand image/perception, and information
Which of these three is the most important may vary, but all our key to the buying decision.
A commercial where you can't even remember the product is a total waste of money and effort.
