I don't believe in (a) God, for "religion", to me, is the coping system people found solace in during way, way shittier times.

I think that religion has been popular in foregone times, because it promised a wonderful existence in the afterlife, if you behaved well in your life(in accordance to the respective religion's ruleset).

Life sucked back then, and "religion" offered a way out.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to think that there is an inherent reason behind all this, some kind of trial: the good are rewarded, the bad are punished.

Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, whatever it may be, I think it'd be beyond our comprehension anyway.
