My view on religion is that they are superfluous. There is no doubt that their intent and teachings have validity. Its great that people find solace and guidance in them. The major ones are big business raking in the bucks for their own elite. I adhere to the beliefs but don’t support the hierarchy. The religions I have been a part of and studied have (2) universal teachings beyond theology.

1) We are the only real deal.
All people are created equal and the other religions in the world are fine (wink, wink) but our religion is really the one true path to salvation.

2) You can’t get there without us.
Its great that there are folks trying to live honest, productive, frugal lives (nod, nod) but unless we punch your ticket, you will, burn in hell.
