YAY! Hamertime:
To add my tuppence to the debate. No, I do not believe in religion, however I was raised as a Protestant of the Church of England, have been to a CofE school for primary school and have been at a Jewish high school for the last 7 years. I've learnt a lot about different variations of religion, and personally I believe religion has been good in the past to allow people control of the uneducated, unwashed masses. It also gives people something to look for in life, a sense of hope perhaps. Religion has a waning place in society, personally I believe it is holding us back as a species but it is still relevant for the time being.
I am an atheist and always will be, however my family is religious so I feel sympathetic to those who are religious, I understand why people might want to be and I accept that it is just the way of life.
p.s. If there is one religion I would ever think of following it would be Sikhism, due to the fact it does so much to help those who are unprivileged and the attitudes of those Sikhs I have met in the past.
