1.An outdated system of explaining how the universe works, which provides absolutely no evidence for huge and absurd claims.
2. Bullshit stories, which surprisingly, and depressingly, even intelligent people believe in.
3. The most common and dangerous mental illness ever conceived, thanks a lot god.

Religion poisons everything.

A controversial and touchy subject.
Being asked to belief in God with faith is like having to believe in magic. God supposively pre-dated your entire existence, so how exactly are you free to make your own decisions if he already knows every event that will occur in everyone's lifetime? We must be androids after all. God supposively knows when we'll be born, what we'll do in life, and when we'll die. So what's the point of even making a decision when your creator already did it for you, before you were even born? We're all lab rats, the earth is a lab, complete with mazes, and God is like a supreme scientist. Here's the best part, though: God supposively already KNOWS everything you'll do in life, and holds whatever sins you perform against you, albeit the fact that he already KNEW THAT YOU'D PERFORM THEM! I told her I don't go to church because preachers and such preach their views and not God's in the first place. I'd rather not have a group of people try to manipulate me when I already know what I believe. To top it all off, there's so many religions and bibles in the first place, how do you know which ones are the definitive ones? They're all sure that they're the right one.
Basically, what it comes down to is: Do you want to put faith in believing in a supreme being that controls your entire existence, or do you want to neglect it so that it can forcefully send you to hell (if you believe in that sort of thing).
Religion is taught, just like racism, sexism, and blah blah, et cetera..so how do we even know if it's actually valid?

All religions are basically saying the same three things.
1. be moral - do what's in the best interest of your family and in the best interest of society.
2. life is suffering - here's how to deal with it.
3. strive for exclusive ownership at the expense of others.

The cause of most wars in human history. It tries to explain things that we once did not know with now defunct, retarded answers. Most religious people would blindly follow an old book, leader, document, etc... rather than even consider more modern, logical answers. In times now past, it tried to give people hope and understanding, but now it just causes false hope, wars, political unrest and the eventual destruction of human society.

TV evangelists... need I say more?

The reason the government rejects religion as a way of living now is because;
A. The world is based on money, and households are based on a two person income so people work all the time, barely pay their bills, and still maintain I high level of debt while the kids are taken away by the school system and brainwashed to think learning is to repeat what is told to them.
B. They are still forcing religion views and beliefs upon all the citizens, to try and keep everyone stupid, unable to think for themselves and unable to act on their own.
Conclusion: Everyone has a right to their own beliefs, and most laws are just the beliefs of others being forced onto you from birth so you are never aware and still blindly follow. It's time to ask yourself and everyone else "Why?".
Send this definition to all of your friends, FUCK RELIGION, WE ARE THE PEOPLE, WE WANT A FREEDOM OF NO RELIGION. We want a society based on intelligent thought, not blind ignorance.
