Religion isn't important to me because I think it takes away from the spirituality of life.

my family has all been one religion for several generations (both my father and mothers sides)

my wife's family has been the same religion for 4 generations

it is part of our life/ a way of life

All of my family is religious.

I'm not.

My father was a minister.

My mother's father was a minister.

It is unimportant to me, because there is no large organized religious group that has done any good for the world or this nation. At the same time, no small groups have done any harm. Keep your religion your own. Religion allows for a social outlet, and unites small communities. On a large scale, nothing but corruption comes of any of it.

Religion is unimportant to me because my beliefs and values change quite often.

Poll? :)

It's important to me.

Edit: As to why, it'll take a paragraph. But since this is ATOT, I'll make it a short numbered list...

1. I am a logical, thoughtful person.
2. I could not accept scientific views on the creation of the world and the universe as a full explanation.
3. I knew there must be a God to create such an intricate, marvelous world.
4. It makes sense.
