Religion, in my opinion, is taken way to seriously. By all, Christians, Arabs, Jews, The Dark side of the Force, it's just way out of hand. I mean to a point, what purpose does it serve? I think it's a good thing to take bits and pieces out of a religion, such as some of the commandments, like thou shall not steal or what have you, but even still those are just simple morals which should be known and practiced without even knowledge of it. There are a lot more downsides, then upsides to religion. It might cause you to be somewhere you don't want to be and doing something that might not even matter, like praying, instead of doing something you would enjoy, or do something that matters. And then there are those extremists,.. If someone questioned it, your religion, something that you heavily believe in, and have put so much time into it throughout your life, how far are you willing to go to sustain what you believe in? Would you kill for your religion? It happens all the time in the middle east. Arabs and Israelis, have been murdering each other for the longest time, for what they think and believe to be true. I know that most people probably wouldn't go that far for their religion, but it is still happening.
It's not like you absolutely have to practice a religion, there is an alternative. There is science. Science, in my opinion, is the answer. It's the only way anything will ever be proven, and it will be the key for the next step of mankind, like it always has been. Any God, if they exist, has not contributed anything this far, I don't think one ever will.
