Within today and tomorrow I have to write four 2000 word essays, a 1000 word creative task and complete 30 comprehension questions about a book I barely understand.

Thanks so much for your answers! They were very interesting and I learnt a lot about you. How can you be Hindu and not believe in God though? You don't have to answer of course, but I'm just curious.
Ah well..my parents are Hindu, and I was brought up as one. However, personally, I do not believe in God. It's a personal thing (: I'm agnostic, actually...

Yeah I thought so! I'm in a similar situation, except I'm a Christian. Although I think in my case it's gotten to the stage where if I decided to turn my back on my religion I wouldn't be able to. But I have no doubt that if my parents weren't Christians I'd be agnostic and would mock religion in general.
Well, I haven't turned my back on Hinduism! As in, my parents suspect I'm a non-believer, but we aren't close enough to actually discuss it. I prefer keeping it a personal thing. Discussing it would only lead to conflict. So, to make them happy, I kneel to an idol and visit temples with them. I dont particularly enjoy or believe in it, though.

Yeah, I think quite a lot of young people do what you're doing. That is, follow religious traditions for their parents and don't really have the beliefs themselves. Religion is really messed up! Whatever. I just get on with my day.
