[Helen]

Of course, I cannot answer for anyone but myself. I turned away from religion after an upbringing in fundamental Christianity. I grew tired of living in constant fear of an all-seeing, all-knowing God. Although I read extensively, talked a lot with others and researched other religions, I was disillusioned by the way that most religions tend to indoctrinate their followers that theirs is ‘the one true faith’ and that all others are either wrong or failing. If, as the world’s most common faiths all believe, there is only one God, what does it matter to them how that God is worshipped? I know there are many highly intelligent people who are strongly religious, but there are too many unanswered questions, and a lack of ability by the leaders of religion to answer them. It’s just too easy to lay the load on ‘God’s’ shoulders rather to question the background of any faith. I’d rather take full responsibility for my own actions, my own failures and my own successes than allow an invisible entity to do that for me.
