Religion is a belief in a supreme being. Everybody does. Everyone thinks it is THEM, even those that SAY they believe in God, they show by their actions that THEY THINK THEY know him best.

Let's break it down:
Religion is a belief in a supreme being -- AGREE.
Everybody does -- DISAGREE. Many people are very vocal about their disbelief in God or Allah or Buddha or any other form of deity.
Everybody thinks it's THEM -- AGREE TO A POINT. There are many people, most notably those who are so vocal about their disbelief in God, that have decided that they are their own gods and are allowed to do whatever they want whenever they want with no regard to how their actions may affect someone else. They have determined that they can do anything and answer to no one. But not everyone is like that. Many people believe in a higher power and their lives are not all about their own selfish wants or desires BECAUSE they believe in something greater than self.
Even those who say they believe in God show by their actions that they think they know Him best -- AGREE TO A POINT. Can't tell you how many churches of all different denominations I have attended where they thought they had a monopoly on the truth and their way was the only right way, so if you didn't live or worship in the way they thought you should you were going to Hell. But again, not everyone and not all churches are like that. Some people and some organized religions are wise enough to admit that they do not speak for God and don't presume to know the mind of God outside of what has been written in The Bible.

that's an attempt to appreciate faith in line with an assumption that there's no God who gave revelation. the element that God would not might desire to be something like the impact human beings have of their recommendations is real regardless of the undeniable fact that it would not inevitably stick to that God is purely an imaginary buddy. no person can ever rather understand yet another guy or woman so the image or impact anybody has of anybody else is at superb incomplete and at worst thoroughly fake, that does no longer propose the guy is imaginary.

Well, there's probably more than one person in the world who agrees.
I am not one of them. I do not believe in a supreme being.
I am a human being, which isn't supreme. In fact, it often kinda s*cks.

I think most people just feel they have a personal relationship with God,....he is different to every one as he fills there individual needs.although he is the same alway's,just like a parent deal with different children's personalities differently,God deal with us as different people with differing needs.
