Everyone is entitled to opinions but it isn't always neccesary to voice them, especially if it will hurt someones feelings.

you havent been spending much time in the other parts of the forum then ...
no one seems to mind when people shit all over other peoples tastes in music or film or books ...
mention religion and people get all antsy - even if they dont believe..
i dont think anyone called anyone stupid for believing what they believe.
unlike Kemal i do have a big problem with the rampant hypocracies though. Everyone wants it both ways .. 'sure i believe - but in a way thats tailor made to my needs - besides .. all i have to do is accept Christ as my savior and i'll get a one way ticket to heaven anyway - I'll be forgiven'
Every organized religion - big or small provides a blueprint for living your life..its one of the main functions...
I think most religious people really only care that there is life after death (most, not all) and pretty much do whatever they want within the bounds of societies laws ...but still want to hedge their bets in case there is something out there..
if you only believe in god because 'just in case' then that is fundimentally wrong because it discards everything that creed stands for... how are you deriving spiritual support from that ?
