Religion is not forced upon anyone, nor should it ever be. In history, a lot of religions used the word o god, to go to war, and slaughter people. I dont believe any of the prophets, would have condoned that. They went to war, because they were not allowed to have their beliefs, or they were prosecuted for their beliefs, but they didnt go to war to force their religion on others.
BUt then came the monarchs, who used religions, to justiy, their imperialism. Even the church. The key is to know that its wrong, and that there will be people who will abuse a religion. Even big groups of people.

So I dont see the point in questioning religions, when it doesnt affect you in any way. WHat is the point in trying to get people to abandon their religion, if all it does for them is help them be a better person?
If you however think that any religious groups is abusing their powers, or trying to force their religions on to others, then its perfectly OK to question it.
