So we are understanding that people make up their own interpretations of religion to suit themselves, including the bad guys who exploit the concept's potential power to bring pain and suffering to millions. That even though all the divine and spiritual rules and guidance for life which can be achieved independently through oneself without subscription to any cults or churches, it can instead be bandwagoned and jumped on to give power and significance to religious organisations and leave them open to menace and corruption instead of us carrying the can within ourselves?
Still think religion isn't a bad thing?
People do not need religion to be sociable, civil and develop naturally. Religion needs people to fight it's cause because - as you say - everyone wants different 'beliefs'. And it is within this blind faith that mass exploitation and terror occurs.
We do not need it - it gives purpose to fear and tyranny.
My fable suggests one does not need to prove negative what has no basis.
And Haunted, science is not a religion; it is a knowledge and a skill of factual understanding. The word is being bent out of of shape and desperately applied to any form of commitment.
