Well, I'm with Austin on this one. I choose not to believe in any organized religion because there are so many parts that defy logic and reason to me. My mother is very Christian and my wife is Catholic, so I've had plenty of exposure to religion. And I don't persecute againsst people who are religious, because it doesn't bother me at all. It does bother me when my mom (or anyone else) tells me she will pray for me so that I will find God/Jesus/whatever soon. I don't think this country was founded on any single religion because the people responsible were too smart to include any personal beliefs. They had just escaped from generations of persecution and government control, so they weren't about to screw themselves the same way.
