As far as I'm concerned religion is meant to keep the people away from any kind of illumination or real spirituality. Our makes us pray to the golden calf, others do different. But what do they do to make us understand who we are?
The strife of mankind for deep wisdom, knowledge and meaning is perverted by any religion in my opinion. Mainly old men telling rubbish.
There are old writings found around 80 years ago. One is called evangelism of Thomas. It says that if you want to find god, you just have to turn a stone. That's pretty much what I feel. You need neither churches, popes nor priests. All you need is confidence and faith. The latter is most hard to find as I judge it.
So to keep it short religion per se is meant to control masses and not for their fortune. It is a tool of power. In the medieval times there was a saying between a pope and a landlord: I keep them dumb and you keep them poor. As Lenin said opium. It keeps the people away from clear spirit.
One argument pro religion is ethics and moral. So what about? They still refer to a codex old fashioned since centuries. If you act the way that you would accept your actions as a general rule for everyone, it's fair enough. All that is needed. Or treat people as you want to be treated yourself. Slightly different. But Kant in short. So also for a ethical or moral compass religion is not needed and most probable also not suitable. But a punishing god is good for discipline.
My conclusion is that religion is good for nothing. Except for those who rule it or rule through it.
The question about god is another matter. I am not yet decided and I doubt I will during this lifetime. May be her/he/it is a human invention because we are not able to face ourselfs being meaningless and are afraid to face the eternal nothing. My life must have a sense somehow. Must it? We sail on a sand corn through unlimited space. What should be the sense of it?
On the other hand. All this wonders, creatures, living beeings. All this miracles of life just because it happened? From a single cell bacteria or yeast cell is so much to learn which makes you tremble with the perception this must be godlike. And billions of this tiny structures differentiate, build tissues and organs and organize themselves to higher beings. Themselves? As if unlike all other matter life itself strifes for more order and functionality, complexity and intellect. May this be a sign of something higher or is this all just by concurrence?
But we are not the end of the story. We are just one picture from a long movie which is called evolution. Our species is one which has risen and once it will fall. Either developed further to something new or replaced by another. So what makes us special besides our hybris? That we presume we are the only ones aware of our own exsistance? God loves us? US? Killing each other in countless numbers with no reason better than power and money? I wonder why god should have only burned Sodom and Gomorrah.
And than there are ones who show love. Running in burning houses risking their lifes to rescue the children of others. May there be a godlike spark involved?
I am ripped in between and really have no clues what may be or may be not. It is no knowledge and so we refer it to believe. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Though I hope for a merciful god as may be the most of us. Oh, if it comes to judgment we better hope to face mercy! But if I find god, I am sure god will have rested inside of me. Or under a tree. A stone. But not in a temple or church. Or in the words of a “authority”.
But in the end to discuss about believe might give interesting insights of others thoughts. May be knew perspectives on things. Or reason for bitter quarrels. It would be close to the discussion about wether you believe red is a beautiful color. You like red? Welcome. You dislike red? Also welcome. Suum quique.
