I would like to add that I am not promiscuous, immoral, or whatever just because I have no religion and do not believe in the existence of God. Just looking for an outlet to let out some of my feelings.

Not wanting to start a religious crusade here, but I firmly believe that religion is a control and leadership system put together over the millenia to keep the worlds working classes in their place.
As such it works remarkably well, but the only trouble with a religion that is based on the ignorance of the masses, is when the masses start to become educated.
Somebody famous said this, forget who now, but I think it is pretty close to the truth:
I believe life is inherently without meaning, but the human mind seeks challenge, so we create answers for the unaneswerable questions: We create gods. Science has disproved so many superstitions over the years that I believe science will eventually disprove religion. That is if society doesn't outgrow religion first!
