I don't believe in anything that cannot be proven, and to believe in or preach anything that you have not witnessed first hand or cannot otherwise prove is a lie. Therefore, religion is a lie. A white lie to some, one that ushers in a sense of hope and stability, but still a lie nonetheless. Faith is better placed in things with substance, like yourself, friends, or family. People forgo this sort of faith because these material things are not always reliable and can bring them disappointment, shame, and despair. But it's no better than following the end of a rainbow only to find a fat middle-aged man trying to lure children in with chocolate candy gold than the Leprecon you had hoped for.
What it boils down into is a "now, or later" themed decision. Will you put your faith in the things around you to support you and take on the risks in the now, or will you look out into the distance which may not even exist and bank on a good afterlife after you come out of the hell you're in?
