Do you think that i believe in different religion because i want to be different, or I want to be rude, or I want to be foolish or because I am evil? Why you always repeat the same answer, as you do not know anything else? Do I have my right to believe in what I discern is good and righterious?

I believe that you have chosen what works for you, and I respect that. The problem with many religions is that they zealously try to convert others to their religion, not respecting other people's choices.
I don't take kindly to veiled threats of eternity in hell, and after having investigated several different religions, I personally don't think that any single religion has all the answers.
That is my belief, and I'm not going to try to sell it to you. I respect that you beleive otherwise, and would like some of that consideration returned to me.

To believe in a religion different from mine makes you different, that's all. If we're honest, not one of us is 100% certain that our beliefs are right (that includes you, atheists), and no one has the right to call someone else's beliefs stupid. It's up to each of us to find the path that makes the most sense for us.

You have every right to be who and what you are, and to worship (or not worship) as you see fit. But then, your question is probably NOT intended for me. I'm answering anyway, because your question reveals the "flipside" of the coin so to speak. It's likely that you and I believe radically different things, and the best part of that--from my standpoint at least--is that I stand to learn something about my own beliefs that would never have occurred to me if I hadn't encountered you (or your question.) YOU stand to learn just as much from me, and well...cool...that makes us equals with something to share.
Those who call you foolish, evil, rude, or just peurile enough to just "want to be different" are doing both you and themselves a disservice. They're closing themselves off to actually having their own beliefs not only proven but put into a larger context...and well, if they're satisfied with living in so small, limited, and pathetic a world, then so be it. I choose something else. I choose to be challenged, because through challenge, we grow...I grow...and quite frankly, I like the big, scary, wild, and wacky world that I live in, and I like the people who live in it with me.

To believe in any religion is stupid.

Everyone has the right to practise any religion they choose to as long as that religion does preach hatred of others.

You have the right to believe anything you choose.
Of course, if you disagree with me, you are wrong. I'm sorry, wasn't that obvious to you?

No, but typing angry questions in broken English isn't helping your case any.
