    I don’t judge anyone who follows a religion, but I like this quote. I have a grandfather that has more patience than a saint and helps other a little too much risking going into debt and he’s lost faith in religion and his church. He said “I don’t know what there is after death but if there’s a heaven then the good I do in life will be enough.” The church didn’t treat him well despite his kind generous nature and i agree with him that feels like some form of organized crime. I’m atheist and I never learned to blindly follow like my older family members did. It’s strange to see them tirelessly running around doing chores for their church but it makes them happy I guess so I don’t question it.

    "The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own”. - Frank Zappa

    There’s another quote of his but I don’t think it’s true for everyone.
