I think that Sierra, and Marx, and all the others who believe that religion is made up and that people created God and not the other way around have very good points. And, like Sierra, I don't see that as a bad thing. However, I don't think that that belief is any better to push than any religious beliefs are. I don't think we need to accept that religion is made up anymore than we need to accept a specific religion. As long as someone's religious beliefs aren't harming anyone, why should they be told that it's a lie? Even if it isn't true, it's true to them, and that might be more important.
