Religion was created to bind together the group of people and give them a particualr image. Ancient humans were pretty wild and a scattered race. With abscence of nations and boundaries, we hardly had any particular identity to separate a group from other. We hardly had anything to be afraid of, other then wild animals and natural disasters. The leaders didnt had any one thing through which they could lead the hordes and hordes of humans. Thus Religion was invented, to bring together the flocks of humans, like goats they were showed the fear of almighty and ask to do certain things in certain manner in process giving them individuality and laying down rules and ways through which they should live there life. All the status and power was vested in the religious leader. May it be christianity, Hinduism, Islam, every where people were asked to follow, be good and do good things if they want go to heaven.
I for one dont belong to any religion. I Love being religion less and just be a Human.... like it that way

Hey Bikeman,
I have to agree with you on your stand against religion. For familial political reasons I occasionally profess to be a Catholic, but it's just for show. The vast majority of people are intellectually weak and incapable, as a group, of sustaining an individual identity. From Scientology to Goat Worship, it seems people need the supposed existence of a higher power to explain life's complexities...even if it doesn't make any sense at all.
