Very few people are actually knowledgable about religion? Are you even surprised by this?

I mean…sorry to generalize, I know it’s just one small study, but my point is this: It seems more and more beneficial to forget all of the ‘mumbo-jumbo’ in these religious texts and have a personal god. Obviously people don’t really care because, let’s be honest, it doesn’t matter.

Is it just me, or does it make more sense to just have ‘your own god’, disregarding all of the oppressive rules, restrictions, and fables of these doctrines in the bible, qur’an etc?

I want to hear your opinion, especially if you think some of this ancient information is beneficial to religion. Thank you.
