You could debate all day whether or not religion is good. I'm sure you could have pros and cons. For me, I could never be religious...never believe in god because it just isn't true. And it has always struck me weird that people could believe in a god who asks humans to "do the right thing' but never does themselves. I suppose if you believe in a higher power and not a specific god maybe that is one thing. Not so many rules and stories attached that make no sense. Nothing better than worshipping the biggest mass murderer ever I suppose
