    religion is complete bollox if you're being objective about it.

    I had a very religious upbringing but after a bunch of priests raped my school mates (which would skew your position) I kind of left it alone.

    Funnily enough now my kids are at school I realised without trying that they are proper atheists as they just didn't know about jesus or any of that malarkey.

    Neither my wife, nor here parents were baptised, (which is quite rare) coming from the humanist movement.

    So when little Jonny came home from school, we had the 'dad what is Jesus?' question (aged 5).

    Now I could of gone either way, but I went with 'a lot of people worship gods and deities, and one of the more popular ones is Jesus. He was a historical figure with some ideas about how we could all live together better.'

    his response... 'Like president business from the Lego Movie?'

    'yes pretty much exactly like that son'.

    • religion as belief system, but there is deeper examination that is more practical. depends how intune you want them to be..yurimon
