Don't throw everything on one heap. You have political oriented state-religions, like the 3 monotheistic 'religions' created by those in power.
And then there are things like folk religion, and wisdom sayings and philosophies and lifestyles and world visions etc.
All too often these are all treated from the monotheistic cultural point of view.
its all bullshit god doesnt exist. people who believe god exist are delusional. fuck god if he or she or it exist. u know why for testing on people for 70 years and then sending them to hell or heaven forever. its bullshit.
My view on this is, "why do you need a God when you already have the Universe?" which is already crazy enough on its own :-) (Occam's razor etc.) But a little fantasy stuff here and there should not be harmful - imho.
thats a quote from osho "why do you need a God when you already have the Universe?"
didn't know that, but hey, it means wisdom is universal and religious 'truths' are not :-)
that is TRUE
