The belief in a higher power than the ones we can notice here on earth, this belief always comes with responsibilities to the god(s)/goddess(es) you worship. These responsibilities are passed on to other people by tales or are written down in a holy book. Religions can vary a lot, but they usually all consist immortality after death. In many religions people must make sure of a sacrifice to his/her/their god(s)/goddess(es), this may vary from nuts, fruit, vegetables, etc. to sacrificing animals or even other humans.

Person A: "I hear voices in my head."

Person B: "You should probably see a doctor."

Person A: "It's god's voice though, he is talking to me."

Person B: "Oh, nvm then, that's perfectly normal. I forgot you were into religion."

Originally made up to keep people from hurting, killing, and stealing from others, and to make people treat others with decency and kindness, it's actually caused what it wanted to prevent. People have killed, hurt, and stole just because one does not believe the same ideas and opinions concerning religion as they do. Religion is a good thing, however, things like marrying as a virgin are nearly impossible. It's good to have morals, but religions not as needed as before. There are now laws to keep people in line. I believe in God BUT the "YOU WILL BURN IN HELL IF-" crap should stop.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, & the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
