Actually that could be religion as well (maybe it even is, I'm just too lazy to search) And for me, the Church is a major letdown in general.

You might find it interesting to read the Wiki... Most of the core members of the Founding Fathers of the United States were Deists with varying degrees of skepticism towards organized religion. Basically, modern deism postulates some Greater Power that got everything rolling but is basically uninvolved in "local affairs".

But apart from that I still tend to think Buddhism is the more moderate and peaceful of all compared to the other world religion's history. I believe in nothing except scientific facts and laws of nature. No divine intervention or being for me! |

I don't believe in anything myself, but I am accepting of others following religion. For example, my boyfriend is a pagan, and has tried to get me interested, but I just don't really care for it, yet I still don't mind at all when he does his rituals in the house. So long as nobody forces me to be involved in religion, I don't really care otherwise.

Religion can be bad and religion can be bad. But sometimes when good it can seem bad and sometimes when bad it can seem good. To whomever you speak to it will relate to that person on whichever side. How will you know as someone new to this world whether to adopt religion or not. As a newborn you've no religion, but further down in life is it compulsory ? Religion is here for a reason as well as the people who oppose it.

I've always been of the opinion that religion in general is a bunch of different people trying to rationalize their existence. I sort of look at it from a third person perspective, like a passerby watching a bum fight.

Well I'm a Determinist.
I believe that acts of will, natural occurances, social or psychological phenomena are determined by preceding events or natural laws. To put it in simpler terms, I believe the reason the Universe exists is because humans are here to observe it.

I agree with the bold portion. I'm not so much sick of hearing about religion, as I am about seeing people who attempt to abuse their faith in the hopes that they can "save their souls." There's too many hypocrites out there, leading faux-religious lives, because they think if they act religious, they'll get into heaven. It seems like lots of religious people forget that God is always watching, not only when you go to church.
