Well, the first time I ran into the term religion, people were asking whether you had any. You know, some people had religion and some people didn't have religion.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The answer to religion is not no religion, but another way of thinking of it. Another way of being in it.
Religion is the belief in an ever-living God, that is, in a Divine Mind and Will ruling the Universe and holding moral relations with mankind.
I've never had any religion. I'd prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn't make myself believe.
Many people who say they have no religion are simply saying they have no official religious affiliation. They may actually have strong personal beliefs.
The fact that I don't have any particular need for religion doesn't mean that I have a need to cast religion aside the way some of my colleagues do.
I never was religious, really, but I'm very interested in religion.
Religion is the organization of spirituality into something that became the hand maiden of conquerors. Nearly all religions were brought to people and imposed on people by conquerors, and used as the framework to control their minds.
My dad's Jewish and my mum is Christian, so I grew up with no religion. Just whatever religion I wanted.
The conclusion that I have come to is that actually, no religion, whether it's Islam, Christianity or any idea based on scripture or texts, is a religion of 'anything,' really.
What does that mean - you're religious? Everybody is religious.
