It is possible to live with out any religion.I think man only created all this religious practice.Those people living in forest dont have any religion,still they are living with out any problem.I think the religious practice created all the tensions in the society.Every one wants their religion to be superior than others and try to attract other people to their religion by offering money and other gift.We can see communal tension all around the world,because of this religion.I think there is only one religion and one God.That God of love.

I know people who live very productive and fulfilling lives both with and without religion. They have people they care about, causes that are important to them, hobbies, interests, morals. In fact, there isn't much I can say that obviously seperates a person that has religion from one that doesn't beyond the religion itself. I personally do have a religion, and it's very important to me. My belief in my Gods shapes every part of my life, but I can totally understand for other people there are different influences that do the same thing for them. So it doesn't bother me that some people don't live a life with religion, or live one with a religion other than my own.

I was brought up Roman Catholic but I don't practice now and I don't believe. Life without religion is much simpler as there are no rules to follow but you have to work out your own moral code. My behaviour is influenced more by my own morals than by outdated religious morals. "Religion is the opiate of the masses" is very true, it's very easy to pay lip service to a religion and to use it as an excuse to act in a certain way but this causes terrorism, wars, etc more than charity and good behaviour. Religion has a lot to answer for.

I sometimes feel we'd be all alot better off if we didn't have any organized or sectarian religions. Most of them are just big businesses anyway, and involves an individual or individuals who are good at manipulating and controlling masses of people in order to fulfill their own desires for power and wealth. People in general, for the most part, have desires for some sort of spiritual, or alternate, explanations for their existence, for their suffering, for God. I do believe that certain persons have appeared in the world through time that know the true answers to these questions, but they are few and far between. Maybe that has something to do with our own desires...do we really and truly want to know the truth about who we are, and why we're here? And who or what is God, for real? It takes alot of sincerity and courage to face reality and certain, absolute truths, even those that do not agree with our ideas of reality. I understand that to understand some basic truths about life, about God, we must abandon so-called religions, and go inside ourselves with determination and sincerity and faith. That's where the real religion exists. Our sincerity is our protection against the spiritual cheaters that are so prolific in our world, today.
