I'm sorry you feel that way, but I was brought up in a Christian house, regularly attended church, have to some extent studied Judaism and Islam and nothing, absolutely nothing, indicates to me that it is anything more than collections of conservative morals organised under the banner of religion to control the masses and explain away the unexplained and the fears of humans when there was no other obvious alternatives. I see no positive outcome from any religion, apart from maybe the social and cultural aspects, which are mostly collected from other historical sources in any case. I don't need religion to have morals. I don't need religion to be charitable. I don't need religion to know not to kill. I don't need religion to live humans or anything else. There are no gods, and if I'm wrong and there is, I want nothing to do with a omnipresent creator that allows what it has, whilst demanding blind faith in a sick master plan. God only exists in the minds of believers. The world is a beautiful, incredible, scary, dangerous and wholly insignificant dot in a universe that is almost impossible to comprehend.
