It takes just as much effort to adhere to religions as it does to try to avoid them. All religions reflect some truths about the natural, divine or universal spiritual laws that govern all of humanity, human relations, or behavior.
Even gentiles or unchurched secular thinkers follow natural laws of right and wrong, in relation between themselves and others, which is the reason for religion -- to define the relationship between the individual and the whole. So every human being has a "trinity" of levels -- the spiritual level, the physical level, and the psychological level that is influenced by both spiritual and physical factors. And together all humans across time form the symbolic "trinity" of God as the spiritual or collective level of all knowledge of all creation, the spirit of the church body comprising all people on earth, and the laws that join these two by Conscience, which are represented by Christ and the Holy Spirit.
All religions or systems have some "trinity" that equates to these three levels, since human nature is consistent. These religions are just different "languages" for laws that people use to define agreements so we can communicate and interact in harmony.
Unless you live by yourself, and do not need to communicate or interact with anyone else, you may not need any religion to get along in life. But if you interact with anyone else, whatever values or beliefs you have that may clash or agree with others, may require some frame of reference to discuss these matters.
All people have their own "religion," and the major religions are just central foundations to organize larger groups with similar beliefs and values. Ideally, just like Constitutional laws, the various systems are meant to reflect the values of the people who freely choose to abide by their system of choice.

first of all you must know your mindset. A religion may suitable for others but unfortunately may not for you. if you choose wrong, you will be in the middle of nowhere for some times and later become atheist.

Does it really matter? What if one choose to believe in something and you don't. Does it really matter? Not really. You believe what you choose and nothing else really matters. Right wrong or indefferent.
Can you by saying that I am simple minded for professing faith in Jesus, change my mind? No. Will name calling change anything? No.
What you may thing is simple minded, may just be a lack of understanding. I may have an understand that you choose not to. So be it. It is my choice.

About as 'addle-minded'as any staunch believer in Socialistic Communism.Those who don't remember the past,are bound to repeat it.Try to remember this one;"Religion is the opiate of the masses".

Yeah, never mind the fact that pastors generally need a Master's in Divinity to be in that pulpit.
