I’m an atheist. I realize the benefits of religion. It can teach so many good morals to people. But too many people get caught up in thinking that there is one god, and it is theirs. Then they start discriminating against other religions and people in the name of their ‘God.’ Some people get blinded and start acting in opposition to their religion in their quest to promote their god. Plus, religious people often think that EVERYTHING about their religion is right, even stuff they know in their heart is wrong. So they’ll take the good with the bad. I believe in faith, but I don’t think I have to believe in a ‘God’ to have faith. I really don’t know if there is a god, and I really don’t care. I think it’s more important to do what is right than to believe in a god. Those religions like Christianity, which I grew up in, tend to say that if you do right your whole life to other people but don’t believe in a God, you’re going to hell. That makes no sense to me, and I really doubt there could be a god like that that could be so cruel. When I explain this to people who are religious, they ask me why am I good if I don’t have a God to punish me if I’m bad. I respond that the way I act now affects my happiness on this earth. If I treat others mean, I certainly get meanness in return.
