It really is based on your faith and trust. If you believe in God, then yeah your going to belong to a religion. If not, you can make up any religion you want.

f*ck you. JUST F*CK YOU! my icon is mocking you DUMBA*S!!

Religion is sort of a 'glitch' in human thinking. To make sense of things, we tell ourselves stories that line up with the data steaming into our heads. See something that is not explainable with current information? Omg, it must be divine powah! If your story confirms suspicions of other like-minded people, they in turn will propagate it, and add their own interpretations until it becomes twisted into a tabulated mode of thinking. In essence, religion is mythologies twisted with personal aspirations to authority and codified into a list of  'thou shalt not's.  

There is more than meets the eye. Religion has become nothing more than a self-serving man's way of expressing the darkness in his own hear in the name of God or the scriptures. It was physically impossible for one man to write the entirety of the scriptures, and many of them were scattered and pieced together throughout history. Many stories added up, and many similar stories have been told time and again for centuries from other religions.

In and of itself, it is not evil to have beliefs. Many theologians, however, are comfortable with the idea of an angry and spiteful God. It makes them feel better about their own anger towards others. Specifically gays, other religions, etc. etc.

I laugh at atheism

And how does this affect you? God forbid if some one is religious.

I laugh a reality.

But seriously, though, good point. But people just believe whatever they believe. It can rarely be helped unless they are weak believers.

I'm sorry to tell you, there's already a religion based on the Jedi philosophy of Star Wars and it has a pretty high number of strong believers.
