"If you're not religious why do you have to bother the people who are?" I could ask the same about all religious people 'bothering' young children who's minds aren't formed enough to figure out what they want to believe in, but the church loves to get them on their side when they are young. I'm was raised as a christian, was baptised/confirmed and all that rubbish, but when I was a young teenager I didn't know any better. All the doctrine that was pumped into me I believed, because I wasn't taugh an alternative. ![]() |

A lot of religious people don't bother teaching or trying to convert other people and just get on with their own lives. Obviously there is the odd moron who'll stand in the middle of a busy street with a megaphone shouting "Jesus loves you" but really thats just the religious equivalent of the bus adverts in London saying there is nothing ... |

The majority of my family are Roman Catholic and my small cousins (between 4 and 10) don't have God drummed into them. They are told about God and learn about it at school but they aren't forced or bullied into anything. The idea of something being pumped into you growing up could be used to back anyone's opinion because we are all influenced by our surroundings and social network. That's not religious or any other group of people 'getting them on their side', that's nature. |

I am an atheist. My parents did not ever once say to me "God isn't real, this is what you must believe in." They did not baptise me, I only ever went to church with school for holiday services, I found it a chore and generally found myself thinking it was a load of rubbish when I was there. Nobody told me to think that, I gathered that myself when I was about 9 years old. I don't ever get looked down on being an atheist, but that's maybe because I don't go around telling people I'm an atheist, or speaking about religion at all. I find people who spout their beliefs (or lack of) to anyone who will listen really irritating in general (as in, on any issue) so I just don't speak about my beliefs openly. |

I really don't know what to believe in. But hey in 15 so i hope the adults don't think my opinion is stupid. What i DO believe in tho is Karma, the act of what goes around comes around. I believe there is a force more powerful looking over us, whether it is god or whatever. I would like to hope we are going somewhere after death.. but nobody can prove if we do and the almost definitely won't in our lifetime.
One of my main phases in life is, Who Knows? Nobody. So live your *******ing life to the full. Life is TOO short. |

I can't say god is not real nor can i say god is real due to none being the truth, but i have my faith in science!
It is a worry when many young people trust the holy book than a science book.. |

Science is about breaking down the BS and learning what is real! The truth and understanding why that is the truth etc. Science is not set in stone and changes over time as we learn more and understand more due to science...
