I'm a religious person, proud of a Christian upbringing....BUT.

When I read the original post, a person came to midn immediately. I have a cousin, very close to the guy, who is agnostic. He is not opposed to the idea of a higher power, won't argue against it, simply chooses no religion. His main thought is that organized religion has caused more pain and suffering than the world wars combined....

At any rate, he's a great guy. Good morals, strong values, etc...Holds strong to conservative beliefs, and he does all this with no religious background and no religious basis...

So though I support my religion and the beliefs of it, I do not think its "required" for a person to be religious, if they want to be *good*
