There are so many things discussed and so many things debated over religion, and the religion referred to, most always is in a spiritual sense relating to how one feels about God or whether one believes in God or whose God is the real God. But in fact can't we make religon out of most anything we have a deep conviction about. If we wholeheartedly think there is nothing in this world that gives us gratification and peace of mind the way baseball for example does, isn't that a religion in itself, and can't that go for anything that we love or have our whole being wrapped up in?
Thinking that secularism is the answer to the world's problem is only creating another religious concept to divide the nations over and will only cause more problems in the future. A utopian society will never exist. There will always be evil in this mortal flesh. It cannot overcome itself. Taking religion concerning Christianity and God out of this nation basically I believe is what the secularist hope to attain. Which is a religion it itself because it is the agenda of those who want a secularist society.

Hello Mary.
From one Christian to another, great blog and thoughts about Religion.
I did want to comment on the argument that most beliefs can be also considered "Religions".
Christianity is a Religion (capital R) while belief in evolution is a religion (small r).
The use of "Religion" explains the belief in a deity (God) and the use of "religion" explains the belief in man's intelligence. When one pursues science whole-heartedly, one can be said to be religious about their profession.
Blessings!
