You know man, I was never religious at all, but I didn't care what other people ever believed in. As time goes by, I'm beginning to see and realize how religion is really so much more harmful than people think. Its ultimate goal is to lift Responsibility off the shoulders of humankind and place it on some imaginary being, no matter wht the religion. Instead, it is human intellect and conscience and resaon that should be idolized. We can fix everything ourselves, we don't need some imaginary omnipotent being to do anything for us.
