30 days, 30 posts: 4 - Your Views On Religion.
Before I go into such a touchy subject, I want to define what I mean when I talk about religion.
For the purpose of this discussion, religion is a collective of people brought together by common belief, method of worship and expression of spiritual beliefs.
In other words, I'm talking about groups of people here - not one person's beliefs.
That having been said, what are my views of religion?
Religion is bad thing.
In fact, I believe that religion is the worst of human behaviours.
A good person does not need religion to do good. But a good person invariably needs religion to justify being bad.
Religion isn't all bad. It provides support, community and charity.
But all of those things can be - and are - provided without religion too. Nobody needs religion to be good.
But when someone wants their prejudice confirmed? When they want to hurt someone, and need a peer group to affirm that they're not bad for doing so? Well, religion will always be there. Sometimes silently approving, sometimes pushing things along actively.
But religion is what helps good people do bad things and justify them as good things.
I don't care what you believe. I do care about how you treat those you encounter in life. And the more I see how religion taints such encounters, the less and less I like it.
