So here's also my answer - I believe in God, I was raised in Catholic environment but lately I stopped going to Church - I've lost faith in Church as a place & organization and started to believe that by being just the good person for other people (& world environment) will be enough to achieve redemption - and I believe God is generous enough to respect my way of 'believing'.

The church is the corporation of religion, using religion to bend the will of man and keep power. I know it sound harsh, but I spend a lot of time in the Philippines where the church has way to much power and people suffer because of it, contraception, sexual education, divorce etc. Families do it tough here, but some dude at the front of an alter decides a lot of the rules.

However on the other hand even though I am not religious myself, I see nothing wrong with faith. Especially faith which someone challenges themselves.
