Could it be rather than a weakness, and a means to justerfie things we do not understand. A beautiful connection to somthing more than matter, somthing more than science, that charaterises humans different from other animal.

@Ali phil,

All religion is fine, in private and according to local Law.

@Ali phil,

I dont know if religion could be considered the most beautiful aspect of the human being itself because the human mind itself is the most the beautiful aspect of our self. But religion gives hope to a belief in which that person can associate with, your right it does give us a true aspect of something more meaningful than that of an imperialistic point of view to correlate our perception of life, religion just gives a tip of the ice burg effect its tries to show some meaning but religion is still that of word that was passed through another mans bias;consequently, so as much as religion is hopeful at the same time it conforms the human mind into a belief that has been passed through interpretation, but science is no better because even that of what they find in a laboratory still has a bias from the man behind the lens they in some way or another make the outcome, but i believe that science is just the fore steps in which its gives God's or whatever you may call your god, the answer to a part of life, but there may be no god with a religious aspect there has to be something of that of a higher form of ourself no matter the case religion is great but it doesnt fill the void of hunger of knowledge through thought for our mind.

No.

Our intelligence differentiates us from other animals. Religion just spits all over that.

I don` t know why non-religious people need to care. Is religion most like a sexual fetish? Just like some guys are into big asses in women, some people would like to spend their time at church.

Smoking differentiates us from other animals, so, we have a moral duty to resist the pernicious worldwide tendency of governments attempting to degrade us by discouraging smoking.

If some people are born retarded, then according to you, they would have as much dignity as "other animals". Intuitively, we don `t want our dignity to be based on our intelligence.

Putting aside the endless wars which it has instigated and caused, the discrimination, the hate, the supersticious idiocy, the tyrrany and so much more.

..then no, it's just an expression of our insecurity, naivity, stupidity and group think ..etc.

Religion is the dogmatic control of human desires, how can it represent humanities beauty? Individual faith can express many beautiful aspects of mans desires but not religion.

Do i sense a bit of bias from you? Every institution in the world is sort of "dogmatic". What does that show?

Most certainly, the individual has the ability to culture and examine his faith by his own reasoning, unencumbered by dogmatic demands.

You do an excellent job at wording that simply and effectively, I wish we could get the point across to the rest of the world. We are of a dissenting opinion it would seem.

what about this:
American Red Cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

provides emergency assistance, disaster relief and education inside the United States.

It certainly is asserting some crazy philosophy that we ought to help other people. Is that not stupid, or what? Why should normal people provide assistance to anyone at all? Is that not dogma?

@HexHammer,

Religion is a great human invention and imagine if there was no religion in the world. I do not mean religion is not smeared with bloods. Yes there were bloodbaths and atrocities. We know how Hitler took religion to massacre millions; we know the twin towers were hit out of religious fundamentalism. There still people fight for their religions. Even with all these great issues there are some elements in religions that integrate us into one organic whole.

Yes few of us, thinkers, philosophers or men of letters all may use our logic or our empirical ideas against religious beliefs. But religions have always integrated the world and are still holding us together. There is still harmony in human society and in fact religions have great roles in shaping all of us.
