Religion...

     Okay first of all, I am not going to say that I have an issue with religion, I don't.
     But i do find it hard to believe that about 3/4 of my graduating class are becoming so in depth with their religion that it isn't even funny. I just think that most of these kids, that are part of these "youth groups", are only doing this because their parents want them to. I believe this, not only because I am an Atheist, but because these children are being educated in school to believe against creationist beliefs; yet they are being taught contradicting ideas in their "Confirmation Classes" and "Mass". So I guess what I am saying is that: "Are these children making their own decisions when it comes to religion/anti-religion?"
     I believe that children should be brought into religion from birth, but when they reach the age of 14, they should decide if they want to continue being in an active church or become an Atheist. Because when you truly think about it, children are forced into a believe of a "god", "afterlife", and "creationism". After all, originally, all people are Atheists from birth. Religion has to be taught to them.
     Okay, well I think that I have covered my religion basis.
