As long as religious followers practice their faith and don't try to shove it down other people's throats or use their faith to try and justify meddling in politics or justify brutality and intolerance I've got nothing wrong with it.....sadly though very few religions have done so. Wicca for one, though it may be a bit hokey to some, at least stresses the practice "harm none" and seems to have a very live and let live philosophy, if only more religions could be more like that.

~*~Live a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones - Marcus Aurelius~*~
