I find religion quite interesting and beautiful in theory but not in practice (Love your next and turn the other cheek. Love peace and harmony). Over the time religion has been manipulated on such grade its original purpose faded away, as for an example when Gustaf Wasa converted Sweden into Protestantism to loot the church goal to vanquish the Danish emperor, and later his heirs to conquer big parts of Europe.
The religions that builds on inner divinity is often speculated and created by others and not by god him self cause they were Enlighten by god them self. Religion is also a way to suppress the masses by kings, dictators, popes and other persons to regain power. Jesus, Mohamed seemed like cool persons, aye i am close to them so obey me!. The problems really isn't religion but it is how its manipulate others and how its remade into higher purpose of power instead of love and ecstasy. Like Jesus said turn the other cheek, but tell me one, JUST ONE in power who has turned the other cheek?
The humankind in general are greed and backstabbing and doing anything to regain they're goals. Gosh Hitler killed lots of Jews to regain power, but where in Christianity does it say that you shall kill anyone since it is and still is a Christian state? Religion also need to have some grip over the population to survive also. The only pure religion left i would say is Tibetan Buddhism were they can not possibly break loose from Chinas iron grip cause they were taught to never hurt a creature, they can't even dig holes cause they might hurt worms in the ground. With this in mind anyone could conquer it cause they would do no resistance and so this also leaves this religion pretty vulnerable and weak to. There is simply no way to regain peace in this world cause humankind is to corrupt, no matter religion...
