Well, to me, you can replace "Religion" with "Every belief or faith", including the absolute certainty that there is no "God". 90% of the -isms were born from blind faith in something.

Your opinion. I respect it but disagree.

Any counter-argument, please? (Not sarcasm, I really want to have a counter-argument.)
There will always be a counter-argument. You, nor anyone else, can not prove there is no God. But we have plenty of proof God does exist, through the scriptures and history, whether you choose to believe it or not. So there is no absolute certainty about it. Yet sadly, the more the world evolves, the more religion becomes frowned upon and despised. You can mock and deny me all you want but I stand firm in my convictions that God exists, has always existed, and will always exist. And I know I am not the only one. It doesn't matter if Christian, Muslim or Jewish, someone will always have my back when I say that. And personally, I hate to live in a world where religion cannot be practised without someone telling me there is no God. Now I'm sorry and with all do respect, I do not want to argue about this or even debate about it. Because it's going to get heated and insults will eventually be thrown. You go your way and I respect that. I'm not going to preach and tell you you're wrong.

But you have to let me go my way. And you have to be okay with that. Because I love my faith and I love God. And nothing, no-one, will ever convince me otherwise, even if they offer me the world itself.

Thanks for your answer, and no, I will not throw insults at you :) I respect your right to believe anything you want. I just think (or... well, believe) that any personal faith or belief should stay open to doubt and debate, because blind faith can be really harmful, and that this does not only apply to religious faith.
What I was also stating is that strongly believing there is no God may be harmful too! I am not religious in any way, but know-all atheists piss me off, and militant atheists look as dangerous to me as some religious extremists.
I will let you decide how to live and what to believe in, and I'm okay with that. I just believe that any human should make efforts in order to stay open to new information, and that it's very hard, because the human conscience has a strong tendency to become hermetic to new data that may lead it to rethink what he believes.
But it's an opinion, I'm not preaching either, and you have the right to disagree.

Sir, I love your reply. Wish more people were like you. Up-voted you!
Hey, just because I've given up on changing the minds of the masses on repetitive subjects like feminism, abortion, religion, etc doesn't mean I don't occasionally comment helpful things.
It's good until the religion part. It's far too specific. We need to think about things like singularity and trans-humanism as well, among many other things. Like the more I think about long range space travel, the more ridiculous it seems to assume we'll be able to achieve it while we are still bound by biology.
Human mind includes atheism and religion. I'm not a religious person but I admire faith and I respect every religion and belief in the world. If the only land we have to explore is the human mind then we should be grateful of the time we live in because human mind is the most vast and wonderful thing we will ever be able to discover. It would be great if we cross the "human mind frontier" but why not explore it? At the same time we would find the way to cross the ocean which, for sure, is not religion. Maybe the ocean is the arrogance of not wanting to explore the land we have in front of our eyes: the human mind.

I dunno which asshole downvoted you but that's beautiful. Tip my hat to you :)
Religion is an infection, spread by those that don't know any better. They ignore facts and turn their own beliefs into a "science". Ken ham and ray comfort can suck a fucking donkey dick

Too soon to explore the cosmos.
Just in time to browse dank memes.
