I am a dyslexic agnostic insomniac.
I lay awake all night wondering if there really is a dog.

1) Who knows if God exists but some people are happy in believing.
2) I cant see a need for more than one God, no matter how many religions there are.

Yes it does.
In the last month, science has enabled a man to jump back to earth from the edge of space and religion has caused a girl to be shot in the head because she wanted to go to school.
It matters a great deal.

Alcohol has caused many wives to be beaten, football has caused many riots... I'm not sure I see your point.
It's gone from "does God exist" to practically a full-on assault of religion already (or certainly trying to portray religion in a bad light)

Impressive list of numbers in the OP.
I wonder how many would be prepared to die for THEIR god, scary thought.

Phil the fragger has nailed it for me. believe whatever makes you happy and content I am very happy for you. please dont try and ram your views down my throat though. I am happy being an atheist.
However, interestingly we discussed this at home, and as my daughter goes to a CofE school, they teach religion. i didnt want her to go to a churchy school, however we didnt get much choice. IN MY OPINION, the fairytale that is heaven, jebus etc is quite nice for kids, a bit like father christmas and the tooth fairy. so for their benefit, they can believe what they want, however we didnt get our kids christened while all our friends were (for the party me thinks more than the "proper" reasons)

Well I don't beleive that bad things should be done in the name of religion... but they always have. Whether it's human sacrifice on an altar or someone getting stoned for having an affair. I can't dictate how religions should behave.... but I can choose not to be a part of it. God or no God.

Unless you're the one being stoned because the religion has deemed you a "sinner". Some of us have our lives adversely affected by religion despite wanting no part of it.

I agree, but something had to create some kind of a 'moral code' to at least get us to form societies in the first place... an area of sanctuary if you will... and that spot was filled by religion. Had someone come along and written a 'bible' about human behaviour that DIDN'T include a God then things would have been different... I think to a greater extent mankind is realising that now.
When people have nothing, and no reason to live... what do they have?
