What is to be done about religion?

For me at least, it's making my life a lot happier and I'm improving all my friendships because of it.
I know how sucky that sounds here on this forum.
I'm not against trying to steer someone in the right direction with innocent questions without giving them my forced opinion.
And when an opinion is forced on me I feel thoroughly shielded by saying that I'm entitled to my own.
Although I can't say how long that will last. :-)

Of course, I agree. I let people get on with it, unless they are hurting people.

I like to put out general messages that promote ideas I think are good, when appropriate. And criticize ideas I think are bad. But I'd never target particular people out of the blue and try and harass them into change.

It just so happens that ideas I think are good will generally naturally lead people away from religion as a side effect, should people take note. But I'm not making anyone do anything.
Feel free to send me a private message.
