Why is all religion bad if there is true faith such as an innocent child like trust in God and Jesus ? What about the millions of good deeds done in the name of faith in God like helping the poor, feeding the hungry, prayers for peace and love and reconciliation thats free from aggressive acts and prosilityzing ? Why not have such a wonderful thing ?

Yeah I think those kind of things instigated by the church are fantastic. I think it is great that there is so much good and kindness coming from it, we need more of that in the world. I don't like it when a religion causes its followers to be prejudice against other peoples beliefs, sexuality and the way of the modern world. I think religions should change with the times. I personally cannot have a blind faith in something, I know that I have no idea how we got here or if there is a God and I am comfortable with that.

I don't think any religion is bad, it just has a bad minority. It would be nice to see more people do all that stuff instead of sitting down and doing nothing, if they can do something, and taking that away from them; those that take away aren't good people and don't truly believe in their religion.

Because that can still be obtained with out religion. Religion is not needed to be good. Religion can be good, unfortunately a lot of people use it to attack people that are different or to somehow say that they are "better".

its a two-sided coin in the truest sense. the teachings and good deeds obviously arent what is seriously wrong. its the ethnocentricity, the fact that when people think their religion is right and that the others are wrong, wars are started.

Have you actually read the bible? Trust me, it's not bad just because of the followers. All you're doing is cherry-picking the good parts.

As you said, child-like.
