What is to be done about religion?
#13
RE: What is to be done about religion?
Chose 3, although 4 applies to me just as well. 

I never felt compelled to sway others to my line of thinking as a theist, and I don't presently; I'm who I am and what I am, regardless of who's on board with me. Not particularly interested in other's religious views on a personal/individual basis, provided they aren't being loudmouthed, aggressive assholes and making trouble for myself and others as a result of them. Outside of that, I typically just don't give a damn.

If I'm aware that such matters are creating turmoil or severely hampering the the lives of people I have concern for, I may broach the subject when the opportunity presents itself...with a mind to help them "clear the clutter"so to speak. Not to necessarily encourage them to abandon their beliefs so much as to simply encourage them to engage in more critical/rational thinking when it comes to problem-solving.
