There is still so much we have no clue about, just look at NASA's announcement today. Everything we "knew" about life has changed again.

I'm not a religious person, and if I had to choose a side I'd lean towards the argument for atheism, but I've realized that Atheists are almost as flawed in their argument and theists. I do believe there are forces beyond our comprehension that are driving existence, I just don't think they come in the form of the Gods that religion has taught. I don't believe there is a differentiation between good or evil, and I don't believe there is any cosmic battle between the two. I'm not going to rule out the possibility though.

If I had to give anyone credit for getting "religion" right, it would be the old indigenous pagan type followings who worshiped the earth they lived on. They still looked towards spirits and all that shit, but at least their prayer was pointed in the right direction. They essentially worshiped the building blocks of life that the earth provided them.
