Theists, What Do You Get Out of Religion?

Through my Christian faith I have come to value others more than I did before hand, I care for others in a special way, one that helps me give more of me and not look to receive anything in return, though much comes my way in the fact I see the effects it has on others.

Thank you for answering the question. Did you treat people badly before you became a Christian?
I used people a lot, and said many out of the way stuff that wasn't necessary and if push came to shove I could and did hurt people. Thankfully all that's all gone.

[hide]Peace, there's a peace that goes beyond understanding, something I did not understand before, something I treasure now. Also the revelations that come from God through the Holy Spirit, I receive an understanding of difficult scripture, see new things when I study scripture, many of these things are help in living the Christian life I chose.[hide]

I think that this is a major draw of religion. Life can be hard and having the feeling that something larger and wiser than you is in control is probably very comforting.

I have to disagree, it will be a part of it later, but not the reason for becoming a Christian.
