Organized religion certainly has its faults, but what makes you think that people who follow it are unaware of what they are doing or fail to understand it?
The world is not as black and white as some would have you believe.

On piracy, I would tend to agree with Narue's opinion. However you look at it, you are using a product that took a lot of money, work, and human-power to create for free. The economy doesn't work like that. It goes both ways. It's undeniably wrong, and just a question of whether you choose to partake in it or not.

That said, that policy mostly applies to those who can afford the products they steal. It's a whole other ethical issue (for me, anyways) for those in poverty.
