You think it's dumb when people take religion and use it to affect their social lives?
How people express what they believe in, causing them to argue over what is right?
I'm not athiest, but it makes me angry. I mean Religion is just something you believe in. When they take it so seriously, I don't find it right..
What about you??

IS NOT ABOUT SERIOUSNESS. I DEFEND MY BELIEFS BECAUSE IT'S MY LIFESTYLE ON THE LINE. I GET YOUR POINT, JUST BECAUSE I BELIEVE DOES NOT MEAN EVERYBODY HAS TO AND I RESPECT THAT.
BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE, RELIGION LABELS YOU TO A GROUP, LIKE CHRISTIANS, ISLAMICS, CATHOLICS, PENTECOSTALS, ETC. I THINK THAT IS WRONG. YOU EITHER BELIEVE OR YOU DONT AND IF YOU DO IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW YO EXPRESS IT OR LIVE IT.
ARGUING IT'S WRONG. IT SHOWS LACK OF SPIRITUALITY.

Your quote - "When they take it so seriously, I don't find it right.."
Completely agreed. Seen it too many times before, people using religion as an excuse for extremism. But if I lived in a desperately poor country, didn't have any hope or opportunities, I might think differently. We're lucky, aren't we? It's easy to look from the outside, in.
Honestly, I couldn't judge. I'm just be happy for what I have and leave others to their actions and beliefs. Leading a good life - surely, that is all that counts, whether you're religious or not.
