1. Religion gives people a sense of purpose.
2. Religion gives people a hope.
3. Religion gives people organization and guidelines.
Prozac accomplishes the same things, and with fewer side effects. LOL
I think any religion can change some one's life to a positive way.

1. I decide my own purpose.
2. An honest and realistic view of the world leaves me with no necessity for 'hope'.
3. I organize myself. My own experience and the experience of others allows us to determine shared guidelines for our co-existence.
As other have said, religion might provide these things, but it certainly isn't necessary. -

Religion does good until it oversteps it's boundry and starts placing burdens upon it's flock which is impossible to attain then places the fault of the unattainable gold on the flock. Religion is like any big corporation. It starts out bettering society then it becomes larger than life then it goes public and the board of directors takes over and everything goes to hell in a hand basket.

Religion that is real to you, should be one that allows you to see these points I mentioned and accept their truth and not try to fool you into thinking they're wrong. As they are not.
