I don't have a 'religion'.
From DebateRiligion on Reddit.
"We learn language from the people we're raised around. That's why everyone across the world speaks different languages. Those languages change over time and with migration, proving that there's no consistency with time or geography, only that the humans around you teach you. It's not a fact, only relative to your environment. We learn what country we're in, laws, etc from the people we're raised around/time period we're in too. And this also changes with time/border shifts, so it's not consistent either. It's not a fact, just relative to when/where and who you're raised around. But each of these are just representatives of a deeper, underlying idea. Communication and community. Religion is the same way. No one is wrong or right for what religion they are, only different. Because what religion you are is only bestowed upon you from what time period and people you're raised around, which determines which ideas you're exposed to and in what ways. A priest from Italy and an imam from Saudi Arabia would've surely been in each others shoes had they traded locations at birth. Religions are all just different representations for the same, overarching idea of honoring existence/our creator. I don't understand how people can not understand, ignore, or dismiss this fact that religion is not a fact, because it's relative just like language and many other social constructs. You can believe what you want, but people preaching love humanity shouldn't be hating or killing others that are honoring the exact same thing all because they call it a different name. Peace to all either way."
