[Serious Discussion] Religion

[Maddolis]

Life determining belief is foolish.

I believed in God but it didn't stop me from swearing or drinking or committing whatever useless crimes.
Then again, people believing that shaving more often increases the rate that they grow a beard will waste time shaving, and those who believe that eating greasy foods results in more pimples will alter their diet, thus changing their lives. You're assuming that every religious person lets their beliefs control their actions, which is probably the biggest misconception amongst explicit atheists. They generally jump to conclusions or incorrectly stereotype or generalize a massive number of people to fit their arguments which are weak as a result.
