yes

It is what we make it to be

It certainly makes more sense ?.

I believe that people are allowed to have their own opinions on religion. If you believe in a god, then you have the right to do so. I will not judge people on their religion, but rather on what they have to offer. That is what is beautiful about the modern day, you have the right to believe the way you want, think the way you want, and most importantly, LIVE the way you want.

In my opinion, I believe that there is no god. I want to live my life the way I want to, without the hassle of following an organised religion, especially certain sects of such religions, that take advantage of it's people.

Of course.

Religion only gives imaginary meaning.

Probably can knock off the last two words! What makes life meaningful?

Yes, I think it is. Every act you do that leaves a trace in the common consciousness adds to the meaning of your life.

yes

Religion, to me, is irrelevant. Life was given to me (By parents not a prime mover), and so my life has the meaning they gave to me and that I have subsequently given it, and then from that, what I get in return augments that meaning and so on.

Most definitely.

More meaningful than with it ~

NOTHING IN ME BELIEVED ANY OF IT, ever, EVER. If THIS was God, I wanted no part in it. They lost me at Abraham and Isaac. Religion is unhealthy, looking at the suffering Christ is appalling, does no one any good, everyone is repressed and nuts. It teaches you to hate yourself and creates some sick shit. No thank you. I live in Waco if I die here, cause of death, drowning in hypocrisy.

I think you create the meaning in your life, with or without the help of religion. It's your life, your experience. When it ends, that is it. You may be remembered for a while afterwards.

My favorite response to this question is from Dan Barker from his book "The Life Driven Purpose."

"There is no purpose OF life. There is purpose IN life."

You create your own meaning in life. Religion is literally pepole doing that very thing.

So yes you don't need religion to have meaning in your life.

yes of course. you just need to find what is going to have meaning for you in your life. life is like an orange. squeeze it as hard as you can and get every last drop outta it. enjoy life as best as you can. i find i actually appriciate my life more knowin i have only one chance to leave my mark. i do good for the sake of goodness sake and not bc i think itll buy myway into a heaven.

Yes, just because you are not a "true believer" doesn't mean that life can't be enjoyed. Life has it's ups and downs but if you let the downs get to you you will miss out on t he beauty that is out there.

Life can certainly be meaningful without religion. But, I believe, that you have to find the meaning on your own, rather than being spoon fed by any one religion. Those who do have thought about it long and hard and made their own decisions are on a much more stable foundation than others that rely on only on 'faith.'

Yes! You learn to just make the best of this life, instead of want this life to hurry up and be over to get to the next life. That’s how I see it, anyway.

to put it in ONE word only, YES.

Since Birth!!!!

There really is no "meaning" to life. Life is just life & it is mostly painful. Religion is just something we are, as my brother puts it, "hard wired" to believe in. We are very fearful creatures because, as a mammal, we are one of the weakest. Without our weapons & technology, we would still be in the food chain. Once we developed weapons, we removed ourselves from those dangers & now here we are; an egomanical lunatic in the white house wanting to start a war so he can feel like his life has meaning & he has a big dick. My major request in life is that there be NO reincarnation. I NEVER want to live again. For me, human life is boring.

Yes! More meaningful because we can live for today and hope to help other generations and even our own to extend life, travel and learn what once were unspeakable imaginations and we can always hope, not have faith, but have hope we might get some other kind civilization to enlighten us so that we can be a better species as Religion has torn us apart and made borders...simple lines in dirt that cause death and tribalism and destruction.
We can also find peace in death because we know that even as it is the end, we were lucky enough to experience it.
I wish you all peace and love.

We create our own meanings and, most of the time, that's not what it meant at all. So, we definitely don't need religion to have a life full of meaning.
