Religion is not merely “choosing to believe in God.” I believe in a higher power or energy of some kind. But religion is gobbledygook.

Religion is a belief in things like someone living inside a whale for 3 days, a great flood that wiped out much of early humanity, a crucified man being resurrected after 3 days, earth being created in six days, martyrs getting 72 virgins, a hidden army licking a wall, etc.

It’s so fantastical that people just make up rationalizations for how it’s just an interpretation or whatever and then religious councils will come together and create their own new interpretations over time. It’s like a little kid who keeps making up new rules to a nonsensical board game.

You should really look into the beliefs of religions other than your own (presumably you believe those religions are wrong if yours is the true one). That is how your religious beliefs sound to many others.
