What is Atheism?. Is it another religion?. Preaching and practicing how not to believe in religion?. In which case it is another religion again. What is the purpose of atheism?. 2. children and religion Why should the children be taught religion?. Expose them to the choices and they may choose a different religion from their parents (May be become non-believers) or better yet- don't teach them, let them do it as they grow up. It appears to me that parents bias them just because they think it is right. (??) 3. Which religion is better?. On what basis a religion is considered better?. Why is that followers of another religion are considered heretics?. one possibility - all of them misinformed ??. With so many religions it is hard to believe that god(?) has anything to do with all this religious stuff. If there are so many gods they must either be fighting amongst themselves (just like us) and don't have time to listen all the prayers etc.. or they must be getting really amused at the way we we are all behaving. a non-believer.
