As a former Christian I would have to agree with the statement that religion limits individual thinking. Everything has already been thought out (albeit rather poorly in my opinion) for you and laid out in a book for your convienience. I asked questions all the time, always questioning and questioning things I read in the Bible, and though sometimes I got satisfactory answers, most of the time I was told that is what faith is, just believing what is there and not questioning things that appear wrong. Though I don't think all religion is bad, anything in its extreme is bad including religion (leading to holy wars and whatnot, how silly).
