so why anti-religion or atheism or agnostic people must make the religious people look wrong ? isn't that fact that they are also hypocrite too ? c'mon man every human being will always tell everyone what their believe is the right thing! admit it!
Pretty scary how things are actually turning out just like the end of the video... People really gotta wake up from that shit and start thinking for themselves.
The thing is people want to take the teachings of global warming climate change out of schools because the kids think its "too scary". But I find, because I go to a catholic high school, that the teachings and the things I learn in religion are much more "scary" and concerning. I also question why so many people can't think for themselves and why they're so irrational, like the people in this video and how they're just like robotic slaves that will do anything a fairy tale tells them to.
I found this documentary really reductionist. I do agree that religion is a catalyst to a number of human conflicts, but it is not the main reason. The main reason is economic exploitation and imperialism. Lots of religious fundamentalist came to power because the people felt it was an easy way out out of the deeply unjust economic system that is present in our world.
I love this guy, he thinks like me (or I think like him... whatever) And he even made a documentary about it... Im scared that my family finds out Im athiest and he even talked shit to real (*ignorants*) religious ppl. He's my hero =)
Sorry if my english is bad... it's my second language after all!
Interestingly Bill left out atheist mass murderers from his "documentary" like Stalin and Mao Tse -Tung..or the entire communist plague that took 160 million people. Sadly I thought he would be fair..but there was excessive editing involved and valid counterpoints were conveniently edited.
@ToughestMilkman Atheism has nothing to do with the killings. It is simply not believing in a deity. There is no ideology attached to it. Those killings were purely political.
@ToughestMilkman maybe he left it out because none of those people killed in the name of atheism, such a pathetic argument. atheits and the religious are capable of both good and bad, religion is irrelivant. oh wait but yes it is, as people commit atrocities in its name!
@ToughestMilkman That's because Stalin and Mao didn't commit the crimes in the name of atheism. Atheism isn't a doctrine or a set of dogmas, it isn't a philosophy. It is a position on a single question "Is there a god or not?" Besides Stalin and Mao and for that matter, Kim Jong Ill, had personal cults around them just like the Ceasar in ancient Rome had. Cults that emulated religious fervor with good accuracy. It reminds me of the cult of the dear Leader in "1984" by Orwell.
It is wrong for people to exploit religion for their own selfish motives, but that does not mean that religious teachings themselves promote destruction. Bill has spoken to morons and conmen, presenting religion only in a negative way. People should have a degree of respect for old religions and cultures as there is much wisdom to be learnt from them. Its frustrating to see how narrow-minded some of these extreme christians are, but to dismiss all religion instead is not anymore open minded.
except if you actually read books like the Bible or Koran you'll see they do promote things that most rational minded people would consider destructive, I'm talking about genocide, martyrdom, slavery, murdering and beating people, even loved ones, sexism, racism, and the list goes on.
Just because they're people of faith who don't follow their beliefs word-for-word doesn't remove the fact that the documents that they base on are filled with dangerous ideologies

Well I'm not much of a believer myself in sense of going to church every weak and praying and such, BUT I do believe christianity has some very interesting concepts in it. For starters God actually reffers to love. So when people say they believe in God, they believe in love( okay there are people who actually believe in a materialised god). And you can not say that you don't need love. I would recommand René Girards view on christianity and the mimesis theory.Interesting stuff!
know what's funny? you guys bitching at each other just because you don't believe in the same stuff. And by that fact you just recreate what Bill Maher explains in his film.
Nobody knows the answers. not me not you no one. so please stop acting like those dumbfuck in the movie.
@darkred01 that's because you are not a christian christian, you're probably moderately religious or a theist, theists are believer who are not bound to organized religion. idk.
@ScandinavianEmokid um, my major is theology. so explain to me how i am not a "christian christian". all this people he interviewed are not trained to be pastors. they do self-studies and interpret everything the way it pleases them. so don't tell me what i am and what not, or if i am moderately religious or a theist. and to be honest i find theists pathetic. they are cowards who are to chicken to make up their mind.
@darkred01 Theology isn't study, it's the opposite, decreasing of educational level. So you mean the bible should be read like it's the true word of God, like everything has to be taken literally. What about Christian Apologists then? You aren't trained to be a pastor, you are trained to divert masses and brainwash kids who are forced to listen to you because of their parents who believe in their invisible friend
@ScandinavianEmokid 1. it does NOT decrease of educational level. unlike those idiots who interpret everything the way they see fit. we theology students learn different views of theologians and philosophers...
@ScandinavianEmokid 2. i do NOT think anyone should read the bible literally. people then, when the NT was written believed jesus would come back any day now. tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or the latest next week. so everything is written a "little" harsh. people then weren't that educated like today - just look back a little.
*you* don't believe it should be taken literally but some do, and as long as there are people who do the danger of someone using it as ammo against society still lingers.
When I was and Xian I cherry-picked what I wanted to hear and disregarded the violence and inhumanity of the Bible, but than realized I was being a hypocrite who built a reality to my liking. This is why they're sometimes thousands of subdivisions of one belief, all created on the ego of the interpreter
@ScandinavianEmokid 3. pastors do not "divert the masses and brainwash kids". you are mixing it up with cultleaders. and those two, let's call them gentlemen (the one with the snake shoes and the "descendant" of jesus), are bull. i don't think they are any good to the society.
p.s.: sorry, but i had to divide this, it was too long...
@darkred01 oh, sorry then, i must have misunderstood. I thought you were one of those crazy people who actually read the bible literally and act like the people at landover and westborro baptist curch
@ScandinavianEmokid hm. i had two other parts, but youtube didn't upload it... what ever.
yeah, i figured. that is a problem i have to face every day. just because one says he/she believes in god or in the bible, makes him/her a psycho and fanatic. i don't dump my believes on others nor do i force on someone else. i don't even go around talk to people about it. it's always others telling me the same old crap about how they believe in a higher power... and blabla
@darkred01 it wouldnt make a very good film if he only interviewed moderates with floppy views of reality. fundamentalists at least believe quite firmly in their crazy bullshit. moderates tend to back into the corner and say things like "no no no, you're misinterpreting the bible" etc etc. BOOOORING...
At the end he looks like a messiah, lol. It's kind of ironic. When I'm watching his movie I get so excited about these ideas that I feel like I'm becoming religiously anti-religion, and that's just dumb. I think his final idea is very dangerous and we have to be cautious not to become haters and start wanting to destroy religion. That's like bombing to stop war. And if we started thinking like that, we'd be becoming just like religious people: our own destroyers.
Thanks for the upload. Christian here but I must say this is indeed an eye opener, can't help but being sceptical, and unfortunately there's so much corruption and hate we need atheists like bill maher to take the middle ground and tell everyone how dumb they are.
I find the last parts somehwat disturbing. Its not like every aspect of religion bad. Without religion society would never have developed this far. Aside from bringing madness to the many many fundamentalists, it has also learned humans to have moral principles. Dont judge a religion because of these few amusing fundamentalists. (Although I do understand its harder for Americans because christian zealots have vast numbers and alot fo power)
@Yetze Without religion we wouldn't have the intellectual stunting that we currently suffer. Religion came after morals, religion brought conformity and fear, and happened to include one or two moral teachings.
@Yetze Morals doesn't come from religion although there are religous morals out there. Hitler had morals albeit some real shitty ones. People kill because of religous morals. Self love breeds empathy and sympathy. It's what humans do to keep the themselves alive, that's where your morals should come from and do if you're not crazy.
we should put all atheists in one place and let us develop and not share any technology or findings, and let religious people live in their own section of the world and go at war . let them fight it off. by the time its over we will be travelling through space and colonising another planets, religious people will have killed each other off for no reason and gone back to the bronze age and die out... JOB DONE!
i just laughed through this documentary and in this last episode.. I just remembered that this really happens in our world, still in 2011... Religion must die, for mankind to move on..
@adrrei You're thinking of the antitheist movement. They already have that actually, but it was started by professor Richard Dawkins. I'd reccomend that you look him up, as well as the professor Christopher Hitchens. For making this film, Bill Maher actually received the Richard Dawkins award, from the hands of Richard Dawkins himself.
Cheers to those who have the mental ability to reason that there is no god, instead of the mental disability of thinking that there is one.
The question is in which hand are nuclear weapons most dangerous. People who believe that smth comes after it and so dont fear death such a lot but also think they could use it for a good thing, a value of god or in the hand of people that dont believe in god and wouldnt use it coz they would die too on the one hand but on the other at the end of their lifetime know that everythings end and wouldnt have to fear the hell. Both sides have same options. The real question is: do you respect life ?
awesome movie, really needed to be an american production aswell - cant think of anyone better to do it than bill maher. americans might actually watch this and listen. thanks for the upload man,enjoyed this a lot! :)
@PhantomDevilDriven Buddhism is interesting. I love reading about it and sometimes i meditate. Theres a book out (name i've forgotten) about Socrates, Buddha and Jesus all in one. Pretty interesting these guys were all kinda the same. They all wanted enlightenment, truth, reason , love etc... Can you imagine WE as a race had the combination of these guys along with science, astrology, comedy, philosophy, technology and legalized psychedelics? We would be on another planet now... literally :)
Bill said its time for all of us non religious folks to stand up and be counted. We are the only sane ones here... its our duty as human beings to stand up against this nonsense. The staff at the lunatic asylum dont let the crazies run the place do they? Of course they dont. its time to reign these fuckers in........
@NoelKilledZombie There's a couple with Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion and The Enemy of Reason I think they're called. He has a YT channel with them or check on the BBC channel
It might be fun to seperate the religious to like, say, russia or wherever and put every sane person on a seperate continent and see which religion wins, who has the better "god" haha. Kind of a sick fantasy but funny and interesting nonetheless
I agree with what he said & he did choose some questionable people to interview, making his points looks stronger. But, when it comes to religion you'll never get answers backed up the actual proof. You'll be refered to religious passages, or people who can't give answers yet still believe in something they can't prove. Believe and have faith yourself.
I've watched all 10 parts of this & i like it. I'm taking it on face value, a comedian making a comedy documentry about the holes religions.
What Maher probably hasn't realized yet is that people do not need to be religious in order to rally around crazy beliefs and commit atrocities. Any ideology that lends itself to extremism and claims to hold all the answers will suffice for that, even if it does not include any concept of deity or the "supernatural".
So, even if we managed to get rid of all the religions that are still practiced today, equally insane secular ideologies might very well replace them. They already do.
@JassuElla thats why you can be a critical atheist, insted of an jacobin anti-theist. You con belive in God or not but you have to tolerate, and to admit that you are serching, there are not facts only interpretation
@orlandoruiz19 You obviously didn't get the point of the movie then if you're still referring to ANCIENT and OUTDATED scriptures for some sort of coincidental B.S prophecy stuff. Look, I use to be christian myself and it can be hard to let go, but please OPEN YOUR MIND! and you'll be amazed at how enlightening that is in itself. You can still enjoy life and do good things for others, your just not bound to a book or a bunch of controlling narrow minded people... Just my two cents though. Thanks!
Cool documentary, although as someone else said, it only shows bad things about religions. As a cathlolic I must say Bill leaves out all the good our church does. Priests sacrifying themselves helping others in countries abroad, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, what about them Bill? they do it for love.
Atheism may explain the evolution of life, that there was no creation. But, can it explain feelings (love, affection, hate, anger, etc)? where do they come from? Part of evolution too?
@orlandoruiz19 ... OK, but don't you see, it's not the priests or the church or any other religion for that matter that's doing good... It's simply a good person reaching out to help others, which one can do regardless of whether they're a christian or an atheist. It's the same as the way people can do bad things regardless of whether they're christians or atheists, muslims or jews... It comes down to the people themselves and their life circumstances... NOT their religion!
And for emotions, IT CAN be explained. Look at ANGRY gorillas fighting over a potential mate or a couple of male and female birds both CARING for and LOVING their offsprings. Those are examples of feelings right there! Even animals have feelings, and we're basically animals ourselves! Our feelings just happen to be more developed and more varied due to our larger and much more complex brain capacity.
I respect you but please just think a little deeper and open up your mind to our point of view!
Sorry, but I didn't liked the end, I saw the entire documentary (thanks to YourxCrystalMeth by the way (: , but I didn't liked it, it's so easy to put some "epic" music and people dying and stuff blowing up and said 'hey, this is religion', what happened to the hospitals, schools, charity and stuff, 'no, that some moral bullish they come up to make it prettier, the real religion it's killing each other for no apparent reason'.
i didn't like the ending either, since he really does make it too easy and stuff like pollution and global warming 1 really cannot blame on religion.
but when considering what is the most prudent thing to do by the leaders of our world, . there've been enough examples who've tried to bring give the end-times a kick-start with violence
and the charites, hospitals, schools cannot reconcile all the damage done
look at it this way. if a psychotic person happens to kill ppl becuz a voice told him they were dangerous, but that same person happens to be really gentle with animals and with kids and be really nice some of the times. he's still a threat to the public and has to be looked after in a mental asylum.
that's how it is with religion it may inspire u to do good, but also bad, which happens a lot more often. but it simply isn't prudent to operate with beliefs only backed by an acient book
but u r nontheless right when u say maher makes it too easy by saying we have to unite and do somethin before it's too late! becuz he doesn't tell u how to do it. and just becuz ppl try and disillusione the religious of the world, that hardly ever convinces them. so the stamping out religion for the plague it is, is certainly easier said than done.
Brilliant documentary. This is exactly why I am actively anti-religion. People need to grow up and take responsibility for their own lives; something which is precluded by any such fantasies. Religion is the key barrier to the next stage of human evolution: psychic evolution.
great documentary! i wish the whole world would watch this! hes so right, we need to grow up, i mean come on, only children should believe in such stupid ridiculous story's!
Hey guys, I know the name of the song at the end of the movie is called "Fourth Degree" by Klaus Badelt. But can anyone find a version longer than 2 mins?
I think there's a very good chance of life after death in some form - but I also think no religion is really true - some atheists think that is unreasonable which is annoying, however, over-zealous religious folk than any pushy atheists !
@Abasss23 So called "Atheist countries" want to retain absence of religion because it draws away the people's attention and devotion from the ideologies that demand the same mindless following. Both religion and non-democratic ideologies are dogmatic. True atheism is not. Why don't you look at some REAL atheistic countries? According to polls in Sweden, 85% of the population is not religious. Sweden. Quite the evil, suppressing empire, right? I hope you learned something.
Thank you VERY MUCH! I wanted to see this ever since it was released...
The sad thing is, religious people won't take the time to watch this through to the end....to listen with an open mind (just the way they ask us to do about their religion) and these are supposed to be intelligent people...the "leaders" of many nations of the world....SCARY....
Thanks SO much for uploading this. I live in Hong Kong and it's hard to find non-Hollywood English movies. this is actually an important documentary. it should be shown in schools to illuminate the absurdity of religion. Come on people.. it's the 21st century! are we not intellectual enough yet to cast off these hokey superstitions and get on with REALITY? I hope for the sake of the species... we are at least close.
I'm not 100% in disagreement with all religion, but I simply believe this:
The human body exists, how it came into creation is a mystery we will never answer, so we should not concentrate so heavily on it. We have to accept as a human race that we will die, our bodies decay and return to the earth, so while we're here, we shouldn't kill eachother, we shouldn't hate based upon beliefs. We're all gonna die one day, lets not do it angry at someone else for nothing.
@DrummingMonkey13 I agree 100 percent. I think the problem is that people are not fortunate to be blessed with this type of mind set because they have been exposed to something different their entire life. It makes it difficult to change. But I won't let ignorance or plain stupidity to ruin my life.
@AndreaCodyJ I totally agree. There are so many people who have been (is brainwashed too strong a word?) into thinking one thing and they can't and won't accept anything to the contrary. Humans are inherently afraid of change, but as long as there are people like us who realise that something is wrong, or who believe something else, then I dare say the different way of thinking shall ultimately survive!
I think the very existence of atheists defeats your statement, however this movie shows that religious input in politics and leadership in general could potentially lead to humanities demise. so in turn the statement, religion must die for mankind to live can be seen as a powerful and rational statement. where as your statement is.....well i made my point.
@grant11102 Atheists believe in their atheism... No one can be an actual "atheist" (believing in nothing). I'm not religious, but I'm not an atheist. I don't disagree with the the statement, I was just thinking a bit different.
@kawoss I'd advise that you check a dictionary. Your definition of atheist is quite wrong.
And atheist is an a-theist, meaning one who is without theism. Theism is the belief in an interactive supernatural dictator, specifically like the god of the Abrahamic (Christianity/Judaism/Islam) religions. To be an atheist is to not believe in a supernatural dictator who has a peronal interest in your day to day life.
Atheists can believe in anything, apart from theism. It's quite simple, and possible.
@kawoss. Well, that's the interesting thing..I'm just sorta counting on it that's all. People my age, and a little older, they aren't teaching their children religion or the concept of 'god'. And their children will grow up not really wanting much to do with it because they were not taught it. As a generation, that add's up to one heck of a lot of people. Especially those within America and Canada. Fewer people want religion in their life. Time will tell.
bill is so crap that he tried to present the bad image of every religion,for exemple there r so many rabbai,s in america and israel but he leave,s behind them and went to a controversial rabbai and a father who is totally ignorant of christianity and then he went to an imam who cant speak english clearly he is not trying to present the truth but he is trying to say that what he blive is right shamne on u bill

A very interesting movie. I must say that I did enjoy watching it, dispite being a relgious person. However, we, human beings all have free will. We can choose to believe or not to believe whatever we want. Faith is one of the most powerful things a human can pocess, and no matter what Bill or his supporters say, the Faith a relgious person has, just like the human feelings of love and hope, is unbreakable. I bear witness, that there is only one GOD.
@akin1989 Correct, faith is powerful but you are combining faith and religion into one. As people we can have faith in friends and loved ones, this does not apply specifically to religion. Yes we can choose to believe or not, the problem occurs when people condemn our choices. While religion has some aspects of good, it brings with it more destruction. I do not tell religious people they are wrong because I am willing to listen to substantial reasoning for why I may be. Problem is, I find none.
@AndreaCodyJ Hey, I appreciate that you are willing to listen to other people's faith. i find that to be a beautiful thing. What I despise is when people, like Bill completely disrespect religions and take the piss out of followers. Like you, I am always wiling to listen to other religions and their messages, but it is up to me to decide on what I believe. There is no need to make a joke out of people's beliefs. Apologies for the typo: relgious= religious...
I, as a non-american, so wish that there'd finally be an.... 'openly' .... Atheist President of the United States of America.
Having a purely rational man or woman, not deluded by religion, as the leader of one of the world's biggest and most powerful nations... one can only dream I guess.
It seems reasonable for religions to and flourish in the past. When people had no education and knew not of; for ex. what was above the clouds or of biochemistry. Especially with the many mechanisms in lasting religions to propagate their continuance. But in this age we have been "blessed" with many answers; so it is up to us, those with logic and courage, to repute the old stories that so many ahead of us have accepted as fact and divine without thought or questioning. Ty Bill, Ty YCM
holy shit....these retards are going to bring to us(normal people) the end of the world.
I'm fucking scared about the future.....as i've never felt...why would i have children in this fucked up world...to make them suffer at the hands of these lunatics?
I raise my fists and sprout the middle finger to all these people, and with all my heart and all my being i say to all of you: FUCK YOU and LEAVE US ALONE!
were fucked there crazy and if we can't change will just end up killing our selves. we need to step up

@ScandinavianEmokid 2. i do NOT think anyone should read the bible literally. people then, when the NT was written believed jesus would come back any day now. tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or the latest next week. so everything is written a "little" harsh. people then weren't that educated like today - just look back a little.

*you* don't believe it should be taken literally but some do, and as long as there are people who do the danger of someone using it as ammo against society still lingers.
When I was and Xian I cherry-picked what I wanted to hear and disregarded the violence and inhumanity of the Bible, but than realized I was being a hypocrite who built a reality to my liking. This is why they're sometimes thousands of subdivisions of one belief, all created on the ego of the interpreter

At the end he looks like a messiah, lol. It's kind of ironic. When I'm watching his movie I get so excited about these ideas that I feel like I'm becoming religiously anti-religion, and that's just dumb. I think his final idea is very dangerous and we have to be cautious not to become haters and start wanting to destroy religion. That's like bombing to stop war. And if we started thinking like that, we'd be becoming just like religious people: our own destroyers.

I find the last parts somehwat disturbing. Its not like every aspect of religion bad. Without religion society would never have developed this far. Aside from bringing madness to the many many fundamentalists, it has also learned humans to have moral principles. Dont judge a religion because of these few amusing fundamentalists. (Although I do understand its harder for Americans because christian zealots have vast numbers and alot fo power)

Both sides have same options. The real question is: do you respect life ?

I agree with what he said & he did choose some questionable people to interview, making his points looks stronger. But, when it comes to religion you'll never get answers backed up the actual proof. You'll be refered to religious passages, or people who can't give answers yet still believe in something they can't prove. Believe and have faith yourself.
I've watched all 10 parts of this & i like it. I'm taking it on face value, a comedian making a comedy documentry about the holes religions.
Simpa23 1 year ago 2
What Maher probably hasn't realized yet is that people do not need to be religious in order to rally around crazy beliefs and commit atrocities. Any ideology that lends itself to extremism and claims to hold all the answers will suffice for that, even if it does not include any concept of deity or the "supernatural".
So, even if we managed to get rid of all the religions that are still practiced today, equally insane secular ideologies might very well replace them. They already do.

Also, one of the prophcies in the Bible is being accomplished right now, and this video and all anti-religion videos are proof of it.

Apostasy is a massive denial of God, and as I can see, atheism is spreading quite fast.

@orlandoruiz19 You obviously didn't get the point of the movie then if you're still referring to ANCIENT and OUTDATED scriptures for some sort of coincidental B.S prophecy stuff.

You can still enjoy life and do good things for others, your just not bound to a book or a bunch of controlling narrow minded people... Just my two cents though. Thanks!
pudzianowski84 1 year ago
Cool documentary, although as someone else said, it only shows bad things about religions. As a cathlolic I must say Bill leaves out all the good our church does. Priests sacrifying themselves helping others in countries abroad, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, what about them Bill? they do it for love.
Atheism may explain the evolution of life, that there was no creation. But, can it explain feelings (love, affection, hate, anger, etc)? where do they come from? Part of evolution too?
orlandoruiz19 1 year ago
@orlandoruiz19 ... OK, but don't you see, it's not the priests or the church or any other religion for that matter that's doing good... It's simply a good person reaching out to help others, which one can do regardless of whether they're a christian or an atheist. It's the same as the way people can do bad things regardless of whether they're christians or atheists, muslims or jews... It comes down to the people themselves and their life circumstances... NOT their religion!
pudzianowski84 1 year ago
And for emotions, IT CAN be explained. Look at ANGRY gorillas fighting over a potential mate or a couple of male and female birds both CARING for and LOVING their offsprings. Those are examples of feelings right there! Even animals have feelings, and we're basically animals ourselves! Our feelings just happen to be more developed and more varied due to our larger and much more complex brain capacity.
I respect you but please just think a little deeper and open up your mind to our point of view!

look at it this way. if a psychotic person happens to kill ppl becuz a voice told him they were dangerous, but that same person happens to be really gentle with animals and with kids and be really nice some of the times. he's still a threat to the public and has to be looked after in a mental asylum.
that's how it is with religion it may inspire u to do good, but also bad, which happens a lot more often. but it simply isn't prudent to operate with beliefs only backed by an acient book

but u r nontheless right when u say maher makes it too easy by saying we have to unite and do somethin before it's too late! becuz he doesn't tell u how to do it. and just becuz ppl try and disillusione the religious of the world, that hardly ever convinces them. so the stamping out religion for the plague it is, is certainly easier said than done.

I'm not 100% in disagreement with all religion, but I simply believe this:
The human body exists, how it came into creation is a mystery we will never answer, so we should not concentrate so heavily on it. We have to accept as a human race that we will die, our bodies decay and return to the earth, so while we're here, we shouldn't kill eachother, we shouldn't hate based upon beliefs. We're all gonna die one day, lets not do it angry at someone else for nothing.
Anyone else agree?

@kawoss I'd advise that you check a dictionary. Your definition of atheist is quite wrong.
And atheist is an a-theist, meaning one who is without theism. Theism is the belief in an interactive supernatural dictator, specifically like the god of the Abrahamic (Christianity/Judaism/Islam) religions. To be an atheist is to not believe in a supernatural dictator who has a peronal interest in your day to day life.
Atheists can believe in anything, apart from theism. It's quite simple, and possible.

We can choose to believe or not to believe whatever we want. Faith is one of the most powerful things a human can pocess, and no matter what Bill or his supporters say, the Faith a relgious person has, just like the human feelings of love and hope, is unbreakable. I bear witness, that there is only one GOD.

@akin1989 Correct, faith is powerful but you are combining faith and religion into one. As people we can have faith in friends and loved ones, this does not apply specifically to religion. Yes we can choose to believe or not, the problem occurs when people condemn our choices. While religion has some aspects of good, it brings with it more destruction. I do not tell religious people they are wrong because I am willing to listen to substantial reasoning for why I may be. Problem is, I find none.

It seems reasonable for religions to and flourish in the past. When people had no education and knew not of; for ex. what was above the clouds or of biochemistry. Especially with the many mechanisms in lasting religions to propagate their continuance. But in this age we have been "blessed" with many answers; so it is up to us, those with logic and courage, to repute the old stories that so many ahead of us have accepted as fact and divine without thought or questioning.
