A destrucive idealogy when interpereted literally. The majority of religon was created in a time when We did not have realistic answers to the bigger questions in life- so we made them up in order to solve unrest. this lead to enlightening periods of time sutch as the dark ages, the spanish inquisition and the holochaust. Islam is the only religon left with a world threatening grip on it's people, whilst the other groups have lost considerable amounts of followers to Science, laziness or logic.
Religon is a matter of Faith and faith is to forfeit logic for lack of ambition to discover the truth... witch hurts.

Get the Religious ignorance mug.Related Words
At its core, religion is adherence to a code of beliefs. Often bashed by evangelical atheists who don't understand that their belief in no god is itself a religion.
Also note that general religion or faith is not the same thing as organized religion. Organized religion is, theologically, man's interpretation of what God wants. For example, Christianity is a belief in God and Jesus (see the Bible for more specifics), and the organized religion of Catholocism (later, the Protestant faiths) was created to 'bring God to the people.'
Most faiths say basically the same thing (that there was one loving God, a flood, some prophets and some other stuff) but a lot of organized religions have been twisted into an excuse for people to kill each other (if theres one thing humans love more than killing each other, its doing it for a greater cause).
