If a man perceives that there is a higher controlling power or being, and seeks after this Higher controlling power or being, that man has religion.
Religion is not created, you are born religious.
There is no such thing as true or false religion, only, quality of religion.
A person whose religion makes them worship stones has a lower quality of religion than a man who worships the living God.
When your religion makes you worship trees, then you will die.
And when your religion makes you worship the living God then there is a chance that you will start changing certain things about your thoughts, words, and actions even unto eternal life.
The quality of a man's religion is determined by the amount of revelation that they have.
And then there is tradition which sometimes contradicts revelation.
The purpose of religion is to make the creature more like the creator.
Religion is what draws you towards anything concerning the divine.
Think of religion as the magnet that draws you to God.
It is what makes you lend a listening ear to a preacher.
The preacher does not put religion in you, you already have it.
The next challenge is pointing your religion at the right object so that you will be able to grow.
Religious people usually want to find other religious people to socialize their religions
This gives rise to the formation of cults
Catholicism, Presbyterianism, etc are all cults by which man socializes his religion
But religion is first personal, then it becomes social when you join a religious cult
No two individuals have the same religion
Two people in the same cult, wearing the same shirt and saying the same creed will respond differently to the same challenge or situation in life
One may be willing to die for what they believe in whereas the other will simply renounce their belief, though they sit at the same table for now
The most important thing is that you keep growing and not confine yourself to some religious cult
Religion that does not grow is dead
A religious cult is not a bad thing except when it's members do not grow beyond the central idea that the cult is formed around.

And what are your reasons for this atheist dogma? or do you just say it, pout the bottom lip, and hope for emotional suture?
Do you get many sympathetic responses for this provocative petulance?
