it just gives people an excuse to pass judgement on others and explain why they're better than everyone else, regardless of the religion.

For me, being a religious person, it's very important for a number of different things. I won't list them all, but although many people think its unrealistic having a 'big God up there', but do they have any other answers? All scientific evidence points towards the big bang, which i do not disagree with, I'm sure that it probably did happen. However, there is no answer to how this universe has been created.
It generally keeps me going, knowing that iv got somebody up there looking out for me. And it makes death a lot less scary, makes me a bit more laid back, i can have fun in life. I guess im a christian, but im definatly not a perfect one! I have sinned a lot. But yeah, thinking that there is something more than this, makes me feel more at ease, and safer with where my life is going.

It has more or less come to signify what the masses believe is idealistically right and wrong. It's a general consensus of belief that evolves slowly over time and is different from geographic region to region. It was likely created to numb the pain of death and then later used as a tool of control. It's important because it documents the human experience.

Hello Sonia! Well, let me start off by saying that RELIGION is man working, striving to reach God; however, in CHRISTIANITY it is about God reaching to fallen mankind and about how He sent His only Son to die in our place to be made right with Him and escape the reality of hell. No other religion speaks of God becoming man to be his substitute, and then literally become a CHILD of God... born of His Spirit. Anything that is not right and true in relationship (which is what Christianity is about) with Jesus will not work. Finding your soul's salvation through Him is essential, for without Him you cannot enter into heaven and live with Him forever. The Bible says even satan believes and trembles, for Jesus took from Him the keys of death, hell, and the grave. He only can help you to overcome the issues in your life. So trying to find enlightenment outside of Jesus Christ is a fallacy and is erroneous. Only the Holy Spirit can give true enlightenment, all else is of the devil. What I've shared with you is the truth friend, and I'm not trying to preach to you... but to share truth with you while I can. Have a good day.

As per me relgn is distortion, prejudiced distortion o the original TRUTH, which were born after male chauvinism has bit into the human race. History, if you believe it, tells you that wars and destruction in the past and terrorism in the present are solely religion based. Crusades or Jihads are the same to that TRUTH - crimes against humanity as well as divinity. What is important is that TRUTH, not its distortion, the religion.

Like dams are important to control the force of flooded water to convert it into power/electricity, instead of wasting it and causing destruction everywhere.
Human nature has a wild nature within themselves, that is wide and spread directionless, like a wild horse. Religion gives it a direction and potential by creating a fortified wall of good, bad, right and wrong.
Our intelligence is directionless, religion converts it into wisdom by fixing certain parameters around it.

Religion isnt important, unless its something like brushing your teeth "religiously". But "faith" is whats important! Most religions in the world are founded on loving and peaceful priciples with sound logic for everyday healthy living. But as always with everything, men corrupt religion. For example, christianity! Most church's dont follow the word of God. They have taken from it and created their own rituals and customs. religious people are the worst people on earth.

It's important as religion means a set of beliefs and practices held by a human community so if somebody do not a religion this means that he is out of the community and if you do not any religion so you cannot be married in religious places!!!

Despite the fact that some people deny the existence of god. From my point of view I see religion to be a way for sticking to good manners. If people don’t believe in religion they wont have any manners and they will do what ever they want, they wont fear a punishment from god.
