Religion is not a piece of crap. Religion's purpose is not to be taken literally. People can take what they want out of religion. Some people use religion to help them out of tough times and some use it as a means to keep there morals. Religion can be a very positive thing despite the holes in the stories. Hope and faith comes out of religion and without hope and faith, people would just crumble when there is a problem.
The problem of religion are the extremist. These idiots take the stories of God literally and this is what causes war and chaos. If people are just not complete retards that like to kill each other, Religion could be a really positive thing.
Just my two cents.

I myself am not a religion man in anyway. People always say why would god do this or that....If God interfered in every aspect of life, what's the point of living if you know that God will watch your back at every corner you turn.
As for you being ignorant, I'm talking bout that comment, bout paying to see a wizard.
Oh one more thing. Just because a person says they believe in God, doesnt make them religious. A person that doesn't believe in God can still be very religious.
Say all the nice things you want, there is still zero evidence that a deity of any form exists. Yes, religion CAN help people in times of need, it CAN setup charities, etc, but in the end everything has been done in the name of an imaginary being. Saying that being religious is good is akin to saying being a schizophrenic who helps out the neighborhood children because his hallucinations told him to do so is good. They don't live in reality, and their altered reality can impede on others' freedoms. When religious people are in control, they base laws off of their own beliefs. In the end, people need truth and not a comforting lie.

According to wikipedia, Atheism is considered a religion lol
You want to see how credible wikipedia is? Go to the Malcolm X page, go to the Young Adult Years section, and read the second paragraph.

That's because google isn't a source - it's a search engine.
