I think right now I am leaning more to athiesm more than ever.

Like I have said, Religion is inspired by fear. People are afraid to be punished by God by breaking the commandments or commiting sins. They have a fear of hell. This causes people to be good. Their reward is heaven.

People cause their reality to be overshadowed. They are so desperate to overcome their fears or gain a reward that they want to believe in something that will make it true. But the thing that they want to believe in is without any proof.

 

Not all religions have the threat of hell, though; what terrors are there in hinduism (I really hope I didn't just stick my foot in my mouth with that), and probably tons of others?
