My wife grew up without a religious upbringing. She was passed down a German bible given to her Grandfather in 1935 which had a hand written inscription by two Jewish colleagues of her Grandfather at the time. Inside was a quote either written by her relatives or anonymous, not sure which but I really had to share it as it really sums it up for me - enjoy!
Religions Are ..
The fossilized philosophies and petrified politics of past ages. Managed and modified by myths and legends to mystify and mollify the masses when they question the meaning of life.
Organised and disciplined faiths that cannot accept the investigations of an enquiring mind has no value.
All religious principles are based on the innate human moral standard that should guide our lives, these principles are for the observation of the naïve and oblivious and the guidance of the thoughtful.
Use that which meets your need, discard all that is a hindrance.
Life loves those who love life to the full.
