I think it's time we distance ourselves from faith.
Is there a God? There might be. We might also be living in the Matrix. But it's not something that should alter the way we live our life. There are so many different religions and all of them are so unique. The real question is why humans are so fascinated by the concept of a higher power. I believe this is because humans are trying to convince themselves that they still have control of reality. We need to accept that we are still in the dark and there may be orderings in the universe we do not yet have the ability to comprehend. We shouldn't assume anything. Instead, we should be ambitious in finding the higher answers to reality.
Religion gives us morals? I grew up in a Christian community. I used to be Methodist myself. Many people didn't use literal translations. They used religion as a metaphor. A guide for life. We should use reason as our guide for morals. Not old scriptures. Do the rules we have now actually make sense? We need to constantly question this.
