Divided but One

What is religion? Some people will tell you it's a way of life. Others will call it a waste of time. I think religion is just about belief.

Relegion is what you believe in. It's what gets you through tough times. Religion isn't atomic. You don't have to believe in it completely or not at all. 

You can be an aethist, you can completely devote yourself to a single religion or you can accept some aspects of a religion while not believing in others.

It may be a way to identify yourself or a way to deal with the rest of the world. Religion is a concept we hang on to as an answer to unsolved questions. It is a way to accept what we can't explain.

Religion is completely artificial. It is established and propagated through people and does not exist outside our minds.

It is also a way to discriminate. For years religion has been a basis by which humankind has been subdivided. There are innumerable religious wars and disputes in which we forget that we are all part of a single society.

When it comes to religion we must accept that everyone does not have the same beliefs. And although we stand divided, in the end we must not forget we are one.
