Yeh too many people just claim that they belong to a religion without knowing anything about it. In my opinion your arn't a real christian if you don't go to church every sunday (unless you don't have a church of course).
I feel for those people (most people I imagine) who are hindu, christian, muslim, "just because their parents are". -

true, but that could be cause it has always been like that. i mean if you are christened, becomes a member of the church and never change it as you grow older. -

As with anything else belief-related, I think that as long as you don't purposefully insult anyone you aren't in the wrong.

People often try to put God in the same category as the tooth fairy or santa claus (sorry kids!). I do not buy that categorisation. I think we can only positively disprove the existence something if we have full knowledge of the domain in which an enitiy supposedly exists. So, we can be fairly sure there is no tooth fairy, because nobody has ever seen the tooth fairy, just like I can be absolutely sure there is no £50 note in my pocket because I can check the entire pocket for the existence of £50 notes. But, we can't check for the existsence of God beyond the realms of what science and technology currently allows us to, so there is no way we can empirically rule out the possibility of an entity relating to the concept of 'God'.
And there are other ways to disprove things, you could assume its true and show it leads to something absurd. You could use an inductive method. There are many ways of resaoning something true without checking every possibility. [/maths] -

This is why I said 'fairly sure' vis a vis the existence of the tooth fairy, you never know -

I think that people should respect other peoples right to hold that belief. If the person believes the moon is made of cheese then that may sound stupid but I respect that they hold that oppinion.Religions are something that many people hold very close to their heart and you can really hurt them be insulting their religion. This is why I feel that we should all respect other peoples religions.
