No , my belief in Natures Beauty coupled with Music Art & Science is enough of a religion for me it can also be a "cause", "principle", and an activity pursued with just as much zeal & conscientious devotion as any that believe in the supernatural . You'll find as many that were innovative thinkers in the arts , sciences & philosophy have been martyred down thru history as in religion . I'm not opposed to attending a church service on occassion & have lifted my voice up in song with the congregation & will listen to some sermons at length too ...but its more for that special assembly of kind hearted souls than the need to hear the Logos of the Word . I appreciate religion when it is in practice not when it is in preaching mode which i find stilted & inauthentic . LIke that Lane Craig fellow ... My greatest objection would be the belief in miracles, magic & the superstition that gets accepted as the truth for belief. To my way of reasoning the miracles are the weakest link of the deal ...easily can accept the story of Jesus as a youth that cried out for change & saw a better way . But that is the way of youth throughout all time & natural to the species , not GOD , angels & miracles . What has been revealed thru the last century of Scientific endeavour is just short of miraculous, yet so surprised by the "believers" that would so unappreciate these marvelous minds that have uncovered such marvels of thought ...why anyone would attempt to detract from these things is beyond me .
