And made you a better man or woman?

Think about it another way for a second. Would you be a better man or woman were you to study all religions equally, trying to find universal truths to live by without having to join a herd or flock.

I always try to take responsibility for my actions. Never have I blamed G-d for my own behavior, or for life situations.
Regardless of belief - you are still responsible for you. Period.
Unfortunately, I have heard some Christians try to blame all the ills in the world on Satan, which is a shame. But not all do this. Only a small minority, they tend to be the loudest minority so we hear the most from them. But most Christians stand up for their own actions.
I believe it makes me stronger. It takes a lot more courage to admit when you have done something wrong then to hide behind something.

I think that it is insane to think that it is God's fault for our actions. That's almost as silly as saying that the devil made you do it. I have made some serious mistakes in my time, but I made those choices. God allowed me to suffer the consequences of my actions because, just like a little child, I, too, have to learn life's lessons the hard way. You experience the consequences, and by doing so, you are able to be a witness of God's grace.

God makes me a better woman, wife, daughter, ect...I would never blame anyone, least of all God for my actions. They are my actions, my decisions, I have to live with them...

Most thinking educated, bright people already take responsibility for their life and their decisions. It is the less of these two among us that figure if they just pray to JJjeeeeeessuuuuus, that all will be fine. They may as well pray to Appollo.

God is a concept. Ethics and morality have been facets of behavior long before organized religion sunk it's talons into society.....

So, you're asking for the atheist population... (lol :P)
It varies worldwide, but it's about 9-16% here in the USA.
