Sure. This is for Christianity:
Look into historical facts to find out a guy named Jesus lived, people wrote about him that have nothing to do with the Bible, and that according to historical evidence, he most likely actually rose from the dead. Also, there's historical evidence that the Bible hasn't just been written from human hands, there's a divine power at work there.
Also, look closely at scientific facts, and you'll find that the earth appears to be about 7000 years old instead of millions and billions, and also that a huge flood did happen on Earth... and even such wonders as dinosaur bones having remnants of skin tissue in them. This means that the bones, at the absolute oldest, could only have been 30000 years old.
By all means, research the topics and find out for yourself. ^_^

The only true religion is that which was given us by God, Himself, in the second person of the Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ.
Christianity (Catholicism) is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. In other words, it is the same everywhere, is contains all the truths necessary for the salvation of your soul, it is universal (Catholic) in scope--world-wide, and given us through the Apostles, who learned first-hand, from Christ. Also, it is historical--even secular authors wrote about Christ and related events. I'm telling you this, the way it used to be taught. Today, most "Catholics" haven't a clue what and how they ought to show the world the truths of the true religion. Most set a bad example of how to live, when Jesus gave us the supreme example. BTW, the Bible is only one source of truth.

Yeah, it's called the religion of not knowing. I don't have the answers for anything, so I live looking for them every day. I have looked under rocks, behind corners, in building and yes in books, even the Bible. I have learn much in my search. I have so much knowledge, but one thing I have learned in all my travels, is the truth and rings true for all, is that the more I learn the less I know. True wisdom is knowing that you really know nothing at all. My religion Agnosticism.

Religion is a system of worship. Then there is spirituality that is something very different from religion. I read this once and not sure where so I don't know who to credit, I hope they don't mind my sharing it here.
"The difference between a religious person and a spiritual person is: a religious person is afraid of hell, a spiritual person has already been there.
I consider myself a spiritual person that celebrates life in all its forms.
Peace

You have been misinformed. There is no religion in the bible. Religion is man made, not God made

i have also come to the conculsion that all religion is flawed that is why i am classiced as agnostic -one without religion but spiritual. i see the paths religoins take. they lead toward god but not to god. the only way to find god is to make your own path. as far as proof, i have none. but if i am wrong i will never know for sure. there is no true proof either way.

Semantically, religions are "real."
However, the basis for the religion is non-existent if it is based on a supernatural "God."
Humans invent Gods in their own images; men invent religions so they can play God for everyone else.

Why it is real.....Experience and knowledge are always real to the ones who understand them....All books are tools for learning.
Also, if you are really curious and want real answers, only you can discern what is truth.
If you want proof of afterlife.......hmm.....It isn't for everyone but you can look up the hypnagogic state and sleep paralysis...it will lead you to a very interesting topic.....You have to want it though
