Who does religion care?

[Rayaan]

On a small scale I'd like to know why the religious people who post here, bother. Some seem genuinely interested in thoughts of "non believers" but still try to argue their case of why their religion is right so if not directly seem unavoidably linked to the other types of people who post here. The ones who preach their religion as correct and actively try and convert others.

I come here to express my thoughts on religion and God. I think a lot about these things and the more I discuss them, even if I'm talking to atheists, the more it increases my faith in my religion because I realize that talking about religion is like a different bandwidth of thinking from science, philosophy, and other types of rational thinking. That's one of the reasons why some atheists will never understand how people can believe in a God without any evidence.

Still, I find it valuable to discuss things with atheists because there are some who are not very confident and others who are also more open to intellectual discussions. And I know that everyone can judge for themselves if what I'm saying is logical or not. So, what I think is the truth needs to be shared with others whether they agree or disagree.

I'm not too much of a practicing Muslim because I don't pray 5 times a day like we're supposed to. However, I still believe in God and an afterlife and what is in the Quran. I don't believe that everything about religion are lies and that we should discard it completely. I read biographies of the prophets and the history of Islam and I don't think that a morally good human being would try to deceive everyone into believing in something which is not true. More importantly, we have to study a particular religion's origin and it's history in greater details before we say that this is all fake and non-sense.
