My thoughts on religion

Religion and superstition have come to be seen as the same things. To me religion is more than that. It is a matter of devotion and connection. Us religious folks are very committed and devoted to what we believe. It is not some kind of superstition or trivial thing. Religion is not science but in science one can be dedicated and devoted to one's work to the point where we can call it religious. It is the religious devotion and dedication that is at the heart of the creation of the religious experience. Dedication and devotion helps to create the deeply felt experience that all truly religious people feel. Religion is not anti anything or pro anything but people can do this if they want. However, this is not a requisite part of being religious. Those who think it is do not know what religion is.
