I am a firm believer that when we die nothing happens, thats it lights out. We are an insignificant species on an insignificant speck of dust, yet we believe we are the masters of the universe. We dream of great things yet tha sad truth is, this planet is all we have, until we as a whole can start fixing the planet we will go nowhere.
Sorry I am meandering, we as a race need to believe in something, our comfort/hope factor, yet while believing something better will come along we do nothing to achieve this goal. As individuals we may do, but as a society as a whole there is not the will to make it happen, rather belief in the hope that it will get better.
Whilst I do not do religion anymore I am more a follower of Carl Sagan's address on the "Pale Blue Dot", until we can overcome our petty jealousies, many of which are driven in the name of religion, then belief will be stoked up by these same petty jealousies. Is there one god, perhaps, but looking at the world as a whole there are literally thousands of "gods", which one is right.
Perhaps at the next evolutionary step we may understand more, or we may as a race be wiped out in the blink of an eye, but until that time comes I will believe what I believe
