Religion is...

Religion, to me, is about creating boxes. Boxes contain and they create exclusive divisions.

Religion is about having a rigid and a black and white view - "I have the answer. And this is the only way for everyone."

Religion is a master at creating caste systems. I'm not referring to the caste system seen in the Hindu religion. The point is, instead of acknowledging the divine in a fellow human being, religion looks down at the supposedly less-enlightened.

Religion is religion, no matter how conservative, liberal or nouveau the label on the outside is.
