I'd hate to believe in nothing, I do believe in something just not sure what, religious conflict confuses me as ultimately they all believe they are going to the same place,they are just under different management on the way.My nephew believes all the God stuff he learns in school. It absolutely is indoctrination. Not at the point of a wooden stick, but still indoctrination.
Weirdly enough, both his parents are atheist and they'd never tell him there's no God. That's the toehold the Church still has on the Irish psyche.
Great solace can be found in faith for those who have suffered terrible loss, I've noticed this.
