I admire many religions, because they are basic attempts to find meaning and purpose in this life, as well as form a moral code. They were essential to the formation of modern philosophical thought, ethics and morality; however I believe they are outdated and based on as much mythology as reasoning, and therefore are no longer necessary.

However, I condemn no one for their religion; I simply question them when they act on faith alone, because that is dangerous. What a person believes about the afterlife is no one's business, and I admit, it is a comforting thought, but I would be more comforted if people rejected the ancient traditions and applied critical thinking to everything they did.

There would be no need to believe in heaven in the afterlife if this world wasn't such hell. As for the afterlife; if heaven exists, and they won't let me in because I refused to have faith in it, then it is not a place I desire to go. Especially if they won't allow decent moral rational people who are non-religious.
