My thoughts exactly. Personally, I'm a confirmed Catholic, though I admit that I was more following my parents than doing so of my own choice. I'm fairly open with such things. However, I don't really like discussing it. Faith is a very personal thing, and not entirely something that is easy to discuss. Hence all the arguements it brings.
I believe that one should not try to force their views on others. If you don't believe in God, that's your choice. I don't look down on you for your beliefs, and ask you the same. I think we'd all be a lot better off if we focused on our own personal beliefs and not concern ourselves with the beliefs of others. It's their choice. i don't really believe in such things as a "One true religion", but that's me.
