Everyone in here, including the theists, seem to be saying, in effect, that religion is a bad thing. Is that about it?
If so, I see no need for me to make the leap of faith to that bandwagon.
Religion is a good thing only if it leads to a better understanding and gain of belief and faith in God and His Christ for salvation. Religion to gain personal wealth and selfish pleasure is a stumbling block to true spirituality and the love of God.

Then that's not religion, is it? That's called greed.
