This is a really tough, sensitive topic. I mean, everyone's mind works and thinks differently. It doesn't mean any one mind thinks more clearly than the other, or that anyone is clearly 100% correct on the matter. Some people require facts, others require faith, and some people don't even know what to think on the matter due to how heavily debated it is. I mean, I don't know. Every religion has a good and bad about them. And in their very basics, a lot of it simply has to do with bettering yourself.

Like, take away the gods, the faith, the tenants and whatnot. It simply turns into a self-help/guidance text. 

Eh, just dropped my two cents into the thread. Do with it as you wish.
