I think there is a separation here that needs to be mentioned. There is Spirituality, which brings us (I think) meaning for life,
and Ritual, which is the church goings, and the prayers & studies,etc. I guess wrapped together, this would be religion.
I have never been religious. Never really believed in God. My parents never went to church, or talked of religion.
As I have grown older I have developed my own spirituality, which has become very deep. I feel a bond with the brotherhood of mankind, and an appreciation for doing good to/for others.
I can live without the preachings & I think the forcing of "religion" on people & offspring is what drives people away from their faith.
Just my ramblings on the subject.
