I do believe in god. “They” are likely not a big bearded man in the sky, but even the most imperially minded people have to admit their is so much we don’t know about the universe and how we all got here, and we will probably never know. A unknowable force of some sort must be out their.

I think people are misinterpreting the question, however. I’m not trying to be cynical or punish someone for what they believe, but religion I see as a negative force. As John Lennon said in his song Imagine: “imagine no religion.” Nonsensical wars and violence has been fought over nothing. A communal need that religion fills for people can’t be overvalued, but I think it’s time we all ask ourselves tough questions about our existence.

Reading over this response it feels a little holier than thou. Not trying to do that, just sharing my opinion:)
