I grew up with religion. My parents were Roman Catholic. As soon as I was able to leave my childhood home, I rejected religion completely. At least consciously. As a result of my experiences of religion and my training in the psychology of beliefs later in life, I came to understand, at a deep level, how powerful and influential our beliefs are.
The next time you get the opportunity, if you want to experience the power of beliefs firsthand, visit a large building built through the belief in God. Pause and take it all in.
In my mind, as may be the case with yourself, religion isn’t fact, only belief. Even so, look at what humans do simply through the power of their beliefs. Always be mindful of what you choose to believe, fact or fiction, you can see it with your own two eyes.
