I believe in God but not religion
I know, I konw. It's a really egotistical statement that that makes me look like a prick but here's my reasoning:

IU do believe in a Greater Being that created everything, using the only materials available, itself. That means (for me) that everything and everyone is a part of God and to worship you need to treat everyone and everything with respect.

I don't believe in religions. The main reason is that fact the pure ideas behind religions get corrupted by power hungry fools who manipulate texts for their own good.

Examples:

The Roman Emporer who "created" the bible (ie gathered the stores together and decided which ones to go in the book) did it because "Religion is a good way to control the people" This is part of Roman Catholic Law.

The Muslim "50 virgins when you die" things actualy original translation was 50 wise thoughts. (or whatever the number is)

My view is bascily: Treat eveyone/thing with love and respect until they prove that they don't deserve it.
