the way i look at it a religion is just something thats help people get through the day because if they dont then they think life is a pointless thing. it also gives them a sence of security that they think theres some kind of afterlife and an eternity of bliss if you obey some "laws" if you will. it just seems like to me that there are so many people wasting there life on religion when they should be trying to enjoy their life, as short as it is. people just look for the simplest answers to questions they have so they can have some satisfaction in there day to day lives. as far as im concerned i just want to enjoy my life and if there is some afterlife then ill deal with it when im dead.

EXACTLY, thank you ace!!!!1!1!!
Society needs to be moved towards the individual, they need to be encouraged that they can change the world! That they don't need to exist in an afterlife because they could live on forever in this world!!!

religion is useful insofar as that it fills holes in peoples lives. It becomes problematic when people make their own holes for the specific reason of filling them.
