I was Piscopalian (or however it's spelled) when I was younger. Baptised and everything. Then we went to a protestant church. So I was Protestant for a while. You won't believe what happened next, we moved on to a Catholic church. I dared not tell them I was Protestant in fear that they might do horrible things to me. After that I stopped going to church altogether and eventually decided, "I will Agnostic now." You know, like Agnostic was a verb or something.
It's hard you know? When people exclaim religious dogma and I have to think to myself, "Pfft, what a fool." It's a feeling of power, a feeling of superiority, that I, the thinker, the ponderer, am above this fool who eats said dogma from his parents. That the Atheists, so sure in their belief that you die and that in fact nothing happens after, are just as ludicrous as the dogmatic Catholics (I like saying dogma). I am a true human I think! A true human who does not allow their belief to be molded by the media, to instead let the Universe flow in its mysterious ways, and that the only way to know what happens after death is to die.
So what exactly I have to say about religion, is not what I have incinuated thus far. If any catagory were to define me best, still it would be Agnostic, but now I understand that religion is not the belief in god, nor is it a faith in anything particular. Religion, with all the skin peeled off, is just an obsession with a motive. The global warming arguement, that is a religion. The constant pursuit of love, that is a religion. The inherent nature of humans to avoid any sort of conflict, that is a religion, albeit a complex one.
So now you know, tell your friends and family what exactly it is, that I have to say about religion.

on a side note, I think "That is a religion," and, "An obsession with a motive," would be awesome phrases to have on T-shirts.
