Notice that most of the definition have nothing to do with a supreme being... at least not directly. So, as usual, you have been proven wrong. Besides, what does this have to do with the idea of keeping quiet about your religious stuff? You certainly aren't keeping quiet about YOUR religious beliefs.

^^^ Except that the dictionary definition of religion shows that people who DON'T necessarily believe in God most certainly can be religious.

In the same way that people have heads, arms, legs, and torsos, etc., so they all have the laws of God written in their hearts via DNA programming.

So, you actually believe in God, because you haven't entirely overridden your basic DNA programming... yet. Of course, if you finally do it, you will die shortly thereafter.

^^^ The problem with this is that some religions tell their adherents to be violent with people of other religions.... particularly Islam.

So, it's a good idea to know the other religions, even if you don't share.

Most religions have embedded within them the idea to share their knowledge. The idea to not share religious beliefs, is itself a religious belief that is being shared... in contradiction to its own statement... right in the theme of this thread.

One major factor that constitutes violence is clash of religious beliefs. So many has lost husband, wives, sisters, brothers, children, friends and loved ones due to attacks bored by religious beliefs.

   How can we stop clashes of religious beliefs
Be you a Christian, Muslim etc or even of no believe one major way to coexist together is upholding mutual respect
Most time we fined our self being a fan of a particular believe than actually being religious or practising that believe that why the burning hate for others who don't share the same believe is strong.

I am a Christian by believe but free-spirited by ideology I reside in a place predominantly occupied by Muslims but I have survived here by not enforcing my religious thoughts on others and share understanding.
Most time we don't choose our religion if I where to be born into a Muslim family I might probably be a Muslim so I don't have any right to take the life of someone born into a Muslim family.

We could go about our duties, jobs play games together live in this world happily and still keep our believes at heart without it inflicting harm to others

   Stop stigmatising gay's

I am straight in terms of my sexuality but have nothing against gay, or bisexuals.
Gay marriage or relationship is illegal from where I come from and attached to it are some severe jail terms. But we fail to understand this act is actually not a criminal act and the Two parties involved are doing at there own consent so it wrong to play God in the lives of humans and condemn them because you are in the position of power.
That's why the western world are more developed than where I come from. Ones you put a stigma on someone because of there choices you cripple other aspect of there lives you make them withdrawn and unhappy these can be people with some beneficial talent that can improve the nation.
In conclusion live and let others live

^^^ You forgot already? God gives what people ask of Him.

Be happy that God understands that you don't understand. He is being merciful with you, and patiently hoping you will turn away from asking for death.

I mean, how much more slapping in the face will He take from you? How much more disrespect? What's extremely interesting is that God is way more sensitive than you or I. But he still puts up with your disrespect, even though it cuts Him to the quick.

You should love Him for this.

^^^ You didn't receive the command to not eat the fruit, did you? In fact, God never even told you which fruit it is, did He? So you are going to die for some other reason. Here's what the reason is:

People are similar enough now to what they were then. So, it's easy to know what they thought back then. All we need do is find out what they think now.

Since now-people don't have enough faith in God to cry out to Him for salvation, they will die, just like those others who partook of the corrupted genetics of Adam and Eve, after it was corrupted by whatever chemicals the fruit had in it.

You partake of the genetics, and you don't even acknowledge God. So why should He save you? You are just like those people of long ago... except that you are a bit dumber.

...
Well I certainly didn't. I didn't eat the fruit myself now, did I?

''If God hadn't given them what they asked for, you would complain that God wasn't the giving God He says He is.'' WOW IT'S AMAZING, NOT ONLY YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST WITH 100% CERTAINTY BUT YOU ARE ALSO ABLE TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE FROM THE PAST WERE THINKING, IMPRESSIVE. Are you a god yourself or why do you keep claiming that people ''asked'' for it?

You keep saying this. Don't you realize that people aren't strong enough to wipe themselves out and yet remain alive?

People asked for destruction by eating the fruit, and then by acting against everything that was good and right. When their request for destruction overcame their request for life strongly enough, God simply gave them what they asked for... just like God gives us everything we have.

If God hadn't given them what they asked for, you would complain that God wasn't the giving God He says He is.

They were a warning for you, those people were. Do you really want destruction that badly? that you keep on asking for it like those people did?

Jesus is the way that God made so we can ask for both, destruction and life... mostly because we don't have as big a choice either direction as those pre-Flood people did. However, just to please you, God set standard life limits to less than 120 years, generally. He did this so that you know by example of all people that you only have so much time to make your life request stronger than your destruction request.

Turn while you have time.

And God's biggest action was to wipe out the whole world except a few people, that isn't very helpful when you are trying to spread the Gospel, is it? Perhaps Jesus and God are angry and each other and they do opposite things.
