No but it imparts bad conduct to other humans and gives you an expectation upon death that, by all accounts, is a load of shit while asking you pay 10% of your earnings to whatever they want.

It shouldn't be treated as some huge positive either like a lot of people seem to do.

A lot of people treat not believing in God as a good thing because of their own negative experiences with Christianity, or because of what many people do in the name of religion. Some people also dislike religious institutions because of the amount of criminal conduct it facilitates (it's not just the Catholic Church with an abuse problem---plenty of protestant pastors have also been abusers). I've never seen anyone particularly upset by people who believe in God but are good, tolerant people.

Believing in something is good, including God.
What matters is how you acted on your beliefs.

Even if you believe in science, if you're being an ass about it then it's no good.

Depends on if you think God is an asshole or not. People like Westboro Baptist church believe in an asshole God. And they do cruel things because of it

Er, I meant believing in a god shouldn't be treated like a huge positive, not the lack of a belief in one. Probably should have specified that, my bad.

It's when others start to speak for him and create policy to harm others in his name because he says how they choose to live their lives is unholy, that's when religion can fuck off.

Problem is, you dont get to just believe in God in most cases.

It also means you believe in guns, zero taxes, the confederate flag, anti-woke philosophy, and the holiness that is Trump. You believe in a horribly distorted version of blond haired Jesus.

I don't knock the idea of a Creator, but part of my beliefs is that if there is one, God and Satan are two facets of the same being like many other deities in other religions.

It's why, if we were made in their image, we have both have good and evil inside us.

Beliefs don't make you evil, actions do. People only criticize belief in God because it's so common to see it flagrantly used as a shield for evil actions.

I notice you specifically said believing in capital G God is okay and not that believing in a deity in general is okay. Any reason for that?

10% to deserving charities is a good practice. They dont have to be religious groups though, give to a group/cause you believe in.

I will never besmirch someone for simply believing in a god(s). The problem arises when this happens.

I think religion can work people (including myself). I just think it works best if it's private, and very much not pushed by government.
