"ones religion", as in ones own religion? That'd be a fairly strange thing to do, although perhaps standard material for progressive religious comedians.

My personal belief, and the reason why I am not religious, is that religion seems to produce more harm to human civilisation than good. Its old age doctrines and dogmatic texts only provide harm to a modern scientific society, whilst they seemingly continue to harm and prevent human progression, freedom and liberties. My belief is religion is toxic, and has been for thousands of years. Just a look back into the history books provides copious examples of human barbarism and conflict fuelled by religion. I can only be glad for the enlightenment, and the increase and growing acceptance of science, freedom and liberty.

Religion can bind and unite us like no other system on the face of the earth.

A world without religion, a world without something to look forward to, is a world I would not want to be a part of.

I beg to differ, look at certain fandoms. They feel a strong sense of belonging and companionship with other fans, and can urge them to do great good.
That's a very depressing outlook.

Insulting religion is necessary for progression. I'm an antitheist, I find the concept of god to be inherently offensive. My being offended by the concept of god (or gods) is highly offensive to other people, but then I am highly offended by any suggestion that god is a positive concept.
People should not have the right to not be offended, as offensiveness is subjective and, at times, contradictory.
