A sociological institution that's true purpose is to protect the family structure (by alienating homosexuals) through guilt, self-doubt and fear by spouting the dogma of a man-made God in order to increase the reproductive rate of pre-industrial or medieval civilizations, which in turn increases a species overall chance of survival.

Up until about two hundred years ago religion was needed in order to keep high birth rates and control the masses; however today, religion is used as a tool to make war, confuse and psychologically damage people and promote hatred towards diversity
Religion ruined my life and turned me against blacks, jews and gays.

A series of fanciful concepts that people believe as to:
- Help themselves get up in the morning, achive inner peace, etc.
- Keep their family happy, because all their family are in the religion.
- Feel superior to other people.
- Provide moral guidance because common sense would render them otherwise lame.
- Justify war or general hatred of other groups.
Wow, so we can, like, kill abortionists if we join the right sect of the right religion? Well fuck me, religion it is!

Get a religion mug for your sister-in-law Yasemin.
Religion is like a penis:
1) It's okay to have one.
2) It's okay to be proud of it.
3) It's NOT okay to pull it out in public.
4) It's NOT okay to shove it down little children's throats.
1)
I am religious.

2)
I LOVE my religion!

3)
Mike: Hey Bryan, how are you doing?
Bryan: SHUT UP! YOU'LL BURN IN HELL FOR YOUR SINS!

4)
Suck my religion, little child.

Get the Religion neck gaiter and mug.
A strong belief and following in a higher/supreme being. Many follow a strict code of moral conduct which can vary from religion to religion. A very sensative subject to most people. One of the main causes of war and violence. If you want to piss someone off very fast, attack their religion.
Famous examples include the Jesuites vs. the Japanese in the 14th century and modern Christians vs. everyone else.
