I used to be religious myself, I know why people are religious. I've lived it for most of my life.But being raised under such a thing cut me off and blinded me to so much of the world and the kind of people it has.Plus I grew up to be a very "Give me reasons, not just faith" kind of person once I decided God wasn't real.Something that causes a decent amount of conflict between me and my Mom.

I think your upbringing had a lot to do with your opinion on religion. I never felt blinded to any aspect of the world. I was free to discover what I wanted and free to form whatever opinions I wanted. Now what is interesting is that I spent all my early schooling years at a religious schools but never found them to be demanding, I guess. Oh the schools would definitely push religion a lot, but I never felt obligated. I feel like I had a choice but I chose to believe in a faith, even if there was no concrete evidence.

I think it is the right thing to do, but I also think that everybody is allowed to believe or not believe in whatever they want. As long as they find satisfaction and have good intentions in the way they go about it. I just still hope they are a good person so if my religion is true, they can have a good afterlife, too.
