Hi there.  What do you think about religion in general?  I think it's important, but I often have a tough time squaring "going to church/synagogue/etc" with doing good out in the world.  They seem like different things!

There isn't really a consensus on what defines religion. I think religion is more just a club where like-minded people hang out.

Maybe it's the way organized religion works.  Many people paying attention to one person in a room, which means that all too often people think of whatever they want to!  At least that is my experience.

If you try to look at it from the psychological perspective, religious and nonreligious people are nearly identical. Religious people simply think there's greater meaning behind their actions.

That's really interesting, I never thought of this that way.  I think we are all trying to understand the larger questions of existence!

I think so, or at least question it every once in a while. People also try to use their religion to push their morals onto everyone else though. That's one of the reasons I'm non-denominational.
