I want your view!?

Question

I want to drop the titles of whatever religion you are in and list three things that you feel are important to be in a religion or faith. Then list three things you think should not be in a religion. I want your views!!! I am very curious and interested in what the differences are in the views, if any.

I don't mean to offend anyone.

Pure curiosity!
