I do not believe in religion. In past, yes it was needed. But now people do blindly anything in the name of religion and I see cult behavior from people who follow them. I could have easily accepted my religion if they are ready to accept the change and progress with their rules but no, whatever the shit that was written in the name of religion has to be followed without doubting the creator.

I consider myself quite religious, although I'm not a member of any church or world religion out there. But I do believe in a higher power, I do pray, when I'm in distress, because it comforts me, and I do have some religious teachings I follow. Especially one: One Love. It means to respect everyone and everything around you unless it looses the right to be respected. I don't differentiate between muslim, christian, buddhist or something else. For me there are only two types of people out there: Good people and bad people. And they come in every shape, color and religion. And they use everything for their own goals, especially religion. Although all religions in their core are the Faith in something more powerful and more peaceful than us.

I believe only communist will say that. Or at least my country's communist
Anyway, religion is a way of thinking and acting. You can have religion religion, science religion, evolution theory religion, or atheist religion. Not all religion have a god to worship, but definitely have something they believe even when not proven true

Sometimes religion can be the cause of the world’s issues particularly in the Middle East.
It's because of the US and their greed over oil

If it inspires people to stay civil, great. That's how it should be used.
But there are times when it's weaponized by people who commit atrocities in the name of religion or God. Slavery, racism, and even anti-LGBTQ murders have been committed "in the name of" religion. In such case, it's dangerous and causes people to follow blindly instead of thinking for themselves. It's singlehandedly the most used tool by cult leaders to carry out horrible acts. It's singlehandedly the reason why millions of white people were brainwashed (and STILL brainwashed) into believing black people are inferior to them.
Do you see how sick and twisted this is? It's beyond scary when it's weaponized to control the masses.
It's also used as a crutch and an excuse by people who don't have their stuff together, people who commit some of the most twisted and sinister deeds and brush it off by saying, "Only God can judge me." It makes people feel like they can do whatever they want as long as "God knows their heart" and, apparently, they'll have a good afterlife as long as they "repent."
Speaking of which, people also turn to religion as a crutch when they fear uncertainty. I get it. Uncertainty scares us all, but it shouldn't be a reason to "believe" in something without proof just because we're afraid of the unknown. I've come to terms with never knowing what happens after this life. I'm anxious about it, but I'm not going to just randomly believe that there's an afterlife just to ease my mind. It'd be silly to believe in something without proof just because I'm overwhelmed by emotions or fear (the scariness of the unknown).
That's just how I feel about it. If you're religiously affiliated and you're genuinely a good person, keep doing what you do. That's how it should be anyway. I only have a problem with it when it causes more harm than good.

I don’t believe in one particular book of rules. And I think all books of rules are just man made systems to control people.
I do maybe kind of believe there could be a higher power in an abstract kind of way tho and that maybe I’m kind of spiritual? But it’s not something I fixate or let control my life and actions.

Lol, what communism have to do with my statement?
BTW, religion is a system of beliefs organized around the worship of an all-powerful deity. Atheist is the lack of belief, i dont see how Atheism can be a religion.
In my case i dont believe in any God because the evidence of its existence is insufficient.
Now, why i say religion is poison. Simple, because religions makes good people do bad things.Religion is a set of dogmas, and the thing with dogmas is that you have to accept them without any doubt, any questioning. And that ends with people believing things written thousands of years ago that dont make sense now. People who denied scientific evidence because dont go with their beliefs. Believers hating innocent people just because "GoD" said so. they dont even contemplate being wrong, because "How they can be wrong if they are in the side of God?
Mmmm. Comes to my mind how the Catholic Church sabotage the use of condoms in Africa resulting in alot of deaths that may have been preventable using a simple condom. Or now, with the euthanasia. Catholic church is against because "only God can end a life", ignoring the suffer of many people with terrible diseases. You have the genocide of the palestinians by Israel, when you can find people who is in favor of killing this people because "GOd gave them those lands many years ago" is "Gods will"
they are many examples like this. Yes, religion poisons everything.
PD: Sorry my english, is not my native language. -
it's fine as long as people keep it to themselves. Religion should be a guideline to life; Not a way to cross the line of someone else's life.

When I was religious (started with Korean Presbyterian), it was a big part of my life. I had phases of being very tolerant toward others while having less tolerant phases.
However, I became atheist. From 4 horsemen level of anti-religion to more accepting phase. I still have a back and forth opinion on religion.
My current opinion is religion is fine as long it is kept for itself, don't focus on harming ideas, and more importantly don't get involved with politics. As long it serves the communities instead of the other way around, it is fine and can be beneficial as having a community can be nourishing experience.
At the same time, I don't have any belief in the spiritual or faith idea. I think they are bullshit and just a quirk of our evolution we need to iron out. I get the idea of awe, but explaining it in some metaphysical concept is mostly a waste of time for me.
I don't believe it is needed to be a good and moral person. If someone needs it as a clutch for that, I think that person needs to reevaluate their position first.

My country's communists said, "Religion is drugs". Kinda similar to poison
That's what you think, the OP ask what do I think about it
But there are bad people who do good thing after joining a religion
Did you know there is a religion that tells the follower to think, question about nature, and do science? And most of their claims about today world is still make sense

Which one? I only know the ones who tried to "fix" their believes so they could match with the science. But they always fail
See, the thing with religions (The most popular atleast) is that are based in an infallible God. What kind of God make mistakes or fail in delivered their message right? If God made the religion, it cant be any error. -

I don't believe in anything, I really think religion is just a device to make people feel better about failing at life and the fact that we are all going to die. But I don't care if people have religions, we all need something to make us feel less pathetic but I hate it when people are like 'repent for your sins cuz your going to hell' and stuff.

I'm not personally a fan of the concept of religion, but everyone has a right to believe in whatever they want to as long as it doesn't negatively impact others. Although indoctrination is a complex issue that doesn't really sit right with me.
