I totally agree with you - what 'God' is, and whether he even exists is a question that shouldn't be relevant. It makes no difference to the way we should live our lives. Too many religions fail to realize that, and some even advocate harming people who disagree with their exact interpretation of God. It's insane.

There should be a religion without a God - it shouldn't matter what you believe. But I think human beings have a need to believe something. With the decline of religion came horroscopes, faith healing, crystals, and other cosmic nonsense. I think if human beings choose to believe in religion, that religion has a duty to spread the right message, and not get caught up in ridiculous issues that shouldnj't concern them. And while "Do as you will as long as it harms no-one" is a good piece of scripture, it's a little too open to interpretation. If religion is going to spread a message, it should be a message of peace and helping one another.

What was it Bill Hicks said? "Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace." Now that's a scripture
