Where's the 'lol religion' option?  there should be a "I don't religion" option Well, that's called atheism right?  Not necessarily. You could be a theist or believe in a god but also believe in 'lol relgions' too  . |

IMHO religion is the opium of the people.
Why do you think that? Are you an atheist? Or do you just hate religions overall? I'm proud to be atheist, the history says that religions have brought only wars What history? Who said that we're being taught the true ways of how things happened? |

While I consider myself an Atheist, I do believe there could be some type of existence after we die.
You should of voted agonism, it is the belief in nothing. |

How couldn't it. You think all religions are bullshit but believe in a god, hence 'lol religions'. |

Why would it be a bad thing? I'd rather we have intelligent, rational people in society than the opposite. |

I suppose you're right; I was going by the broad definition of religion, that is "belief in spiritual beings", but it's probably more correct to consider all the social interactions and rituals that usually come along with it. |

no, more like "mostly atheists and christians."
With 98 votes, we have 53 Atheists + Angostics. That is a simple majority at more than 54%. We can give official minority religion status to Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Satanism. Although I would be inclined to agree with you, Atheists and Agnostics are two quite different things which shouldn't make up a majority together. |

Is it rational to think that everything in our world that is so complex and orderly and beautiful came from nothing or a "big bang?" I am not sure who the "irrational" ones are sometimes.  |

I am not sure who the "irrational" ones are sometimes. You have to admit, accepting something unquestioningly, something for which there is no evidence and which offers no greater understanding of how the world around us works, does seem a bit irrational. As for this universe coming from nothing or a "big bang", that is the best explanation science has come up with; but even if it isn't the whole story, contrary to religion, it allows us to make predictions and gain a deeper understanding. In short, it allows us to make more rational choices in relation to our environment. Religion on the other hand doesn't evolve, doesn't adapt to new knowledge. |

"Religion" or on a more basic level, the belief in intelligent design gives me the basis in which to see that there is order and a design in which the world operates. To me a world without an intelligent designer would be as irrational as having a computer operate without any software. The computer could perhaps have "evolved" from nothing and just be a chunk of metal, but there had to be an intelligent creator of the software that gives the program the design it needs to operate. Even changing one piece of code, or taking code out causes the program to fail (kind of like what happens when there is an "error" in our DNA code which causes problems in our bodies with mutations and so on.) The fact that we have DNA shows that there was some planning or "information" that took place to begin with. In a way, information in our world and in our structure proves intelligence and a "designer." So it is logical to think that there was a plan. Without that the world might exist but we would not have intelligence at all. |

They're not exactly rational though, are they? Rationality is all about perspective. Something may be rational from your point of view that may not be rational from mine. That's why I asked about intelligence. |

That is not what religion is. Religion is the belief in a god. A god can exist - it just migrated from another planet that formed and developed before earth. Science has proven a god did NOT create the universe. It's possible a god created earth, but not at all probable. |
