Our experiences and childhood teachings have formed how we think of God, religion, faith and the subsequent definitions. The teachings of childhood are never truely gone. Any opinon will come with the bias of where our knowledge originated. For me it's catholic, for another southern baptist. I was taught that God loves, another got only the most hateful teachings found in the bible (or perhaps not in the bible!). It's all subject to experiences. There will never be a truely unbiased opinon. If you have an idea of how religon would be excluded without changing the persons viepoint, I'd like to here. That is something that is always sought after, at least in the soft sciences! :)
