To me, religion is nonsensical. I don't understand why a world that's so advanced in many senses is still relying or even believing in a higher power when there is so much proof that it's all false. It makes me cringe when people try and tell you the story of the Garden of Eden as though it actually happened and is fact. People are so gullible and stuck in their ways.

That being said, even though it makes me cringe I respect that people have their own views and beliefs. If someone is religious I don't cringe at them or try and put them off, I just leave them to it.

I'm not just following the crowd either. I go to church every year on Christmas Eve because my whole family does and it's a good family atmosphere afterwards. Though for the whole time in Church I am there cringing and I just feel uncomfortable. I think we're far too advanced for this now.

To be honest, I think Jesus was a man who existed, though not the man that people read about in the bible. The same with Mohammed, Moses, Noah etc etc. They were all just people who did good things and it was written about; in most cases it was written about hundreds of years later. How could a story like that possibly be accurate when it's written hundreds of years later from memory - there would definitely be some conjecture here and there.

People should look at the bible as a 'how to live your life' guide. Not as fact. Just pretend it's a book by Paul McKenna.
