religion,, is it really needed? Options

[OriskybusinessO]

Lets say that no one ever knew about God, or how we got here (im not trying to offend anyone here, or saying this is true etc.) but do you think that we could go on w/o something to tell us how we got here. Which brings me to another point, what if someone just made all this religion stuff up? So, if from everyones brain, religion was erased, do you think we could go on w/o making something up, or discovering something new. Hey, i thought of something else, do you think that if there were more people focused on finding out how we got here (without God) would we find out?

Im trying not offend anyone by saying their religion is false, which i am doing, but nevermind this has no point...

Religion is needed
Because it is a part of diversity needed
And because if we didnt have it then we'd be walking around doing nothing
With nothing to believe in
and no hope for anything.

don't take this as offensive...i don't mean it to be

Religion to me is selfish.
Instead of investing in prayers for ourselves, we should be offering our kindest and warmest affections to those around us. We should not build churches, but build homes for the homeless -- we should not ask God for forgiveness for our actions, but those we have harmed -- we should not pray for things to happen, but make them happen. We should not rely on an entity that does not help our humanity, or something that has only guided so many to bigotry, or rely on the unseen to do what we must do for ourselves, or praise anything that became nothing more than an “idol” that brings misguided violence.

If a person reserves their love for God, they simultaneously deprive love from those around them. By giving our kindness and affection, our sincerest hopes and dreams, desires and aspirations - to this "being without evidence"- we are losing focus of the ONE THING that we do know: our lives. And by losing focus on our lives, and those around us, we are ignoring the one thing that we know for sure: that we, as material beings, do exist, and that we are capable of feeling joy and suffering and we have the capability inside us do what is right, regardless of what we are told to believe is right. Whether a person desires to be a Christian or an Atheist, a Buddhist or a Hindu, it is their own decision. But it is our actions, and not our beliefs in a religion, that ought to be monitored. For a religion to ignore this is the greatest of ignorances, and is better left out of the world.
