You need a option 4, it's immoral, irrational and the root of many evils.

"Rubbish" makes religion sounds as benign as toxic waste.

Judging by some of the sounds I have heard in hotel/motel rooms and other places I tend to think the majority of females and a few males believe there is a God though what religion God was wasn't clear.

^^^At this moment in time....I guess it depends on wherever you are in the world

5. It's none of my business what anyone else thinks, they're welcome to their opinion regardless of whether it coincides with mine.
This +1000000

In my line of work....talking about religion and politics amongst your peers is frowned upon.

Religion (as a whole) has its place in society, and has done a lot of good as well as bad. Note: Am not singling out any particular religion here...just want to make that clear before some bigot takes this and twists it to satisfy their own agenda

People have found religion to be a support mechanism when going through difficult times. Religion only becomes a problem when a small group of folks of different denominations and faith, try to shove their ideals down people's throat

A giant con.

When you start a thread, there's an option to add a poll. I hope so anyway, as I'm supposed to be doing the Lounge polls.

Questionable.

Religion, left unchecked and unchallenged, has a tendency to destroy societies.
