Is there a supreme being , something greater than us that we cannot understand? Possibly. Lets face it, we discover more and more and realise then vast enormity of creation...Human minds cannot comprehend infinity, maybe a greater being can? Is it the same as was written in the Bible , maybe maybe not. How do I know?
Does the Bible have value? yes. Is it meant to be taken all literally or in some case metaphorically? probably? Is Jesus and his life story fascinating and is he, whether he is real or not, an incredible person who taught us many valuable lessons and a good role model and an enlightened person 2000 years ago? Yes.
Do some religious institutions become too intolerant and controlling? yes sometimes... Do people like to mock and sneer and throw cheap shots? yes always. Do we take anything away with that cynicism? Healthy cynicism is a good thing but it often goes too far and becomes negative and intolerant too. Does religion in some cases cause suffering? Yes, though often through the evil perverted misinterpretation of the scriptures by subhuman people.
Does religion inspire many great things too, yes on a massive scale. Should 1 religion be differentiated from another or are they all the same?
I see them as all very different though a belief in a God is universal.
Would the world be better without all religion? I doubt it,the world has always been at war before religion and it would after...with a population that rose from 1 billion to 7 billion in the last 200 years, guess what? there will be endless wars over scarce resources.. but maybe our great great grandchildren will find out,
In short none of us know, so in the mean time hers some rock and roll.......
