All this banter about religion has me coming to a decision.

Religion is for the weak minded.
Weak minded people can't rely on themselves to think up answers so they believe what is thrown at them in order to stabilize their lives.

Some might use a type of religion for say, a code of conduct or something, Atheism is for the weak minded as well, since they decide they just don't want to believe in anything, they are taking the lazy way out.

I can say this with full confidence, since I was baptized Roman Catholic, lost my religion around the age of 13(to Atheism) then decided better of myself and thought about it alot, I now follow Wicca for my life conduct(since I was about 20 or 21, although I didn't define it as Wicca until a couple years ago when I turned 23), and it corrisponds with the majority of what I have decided I want to consider to be the way things are.

I have to say that thinking for yourself is much better than follow a set of beliefs some random quack thought up hundreds of years ago.
But to each his/her own.
