Good day stemians all over the world,I am pleased to write on this topic which has been bothering me for a long time about religion, please read on while I talk about religion. Most times people thinks religion is the only way to get to heaven forgetting the fact that we were all born without religion.

Is it possible to believe in God without religion and how do I do so to keep my faith and thank God without a religion

To start with,I would say that I have a strong believe that there's a creator,but I don't believe in religions . You know,it is impossible for any human to comprehend the infinite. This is because,all my life,I have been reading books and am asking what/who is God.

Now we must understand that the gods of religion are man-made and the serve to satisfy those that believes. The problem is that growing spiritually is like growing physically. You buy clothes and after a while they no longer fit you so you a buy a new one and this continues throughout our lives.

Spirituall growth is the same,for instance, a child whose parents are church goers at age 2 the child knows that for sure Santa clause comes at Christmas. At age 5or 6the nativity scene comes out and the child learns that the real reason for Christmas is that it is Jesus'birthday. At 14 or so he joins the church, normally the one he was raised in ,and he learns more about God . As he grows spiritually he has to shed his beliefs and put on a bigger one. This continues with most people until they are adults and their religious beliefs are well written in stone.

For me as a person, religion do not answer the questions I have about God and there is where you realize that you cannot understand infinity,for the creator of all that is ,is infinite. The creator creator created all that is. There's nothing the creator did not create. Since the creator is all that is,I am the creator walking this Earth at this time as me.

I cannot comprehend the creator because the creator is infinite and therefore, cannot be comprehended by any one on earth. Again,the human mind cannot comprehend the infinite. Man may know the meaning of infinite but cannot comprehend it. It seems to me that religion has don more harm than good. We are all divided by religion while serving same God,it sounds crazy.

So for me, religion is :. I was with the the creator before I was born,I walk the earth today as the creator representing himself as me and when I die I will return to the creator. At this point,I cannot go any further because I run into the fact again that the human mind cannot comprehend the infinite, knowing this I am say peace with all.

Please this is me wondering and pondering on why we are all divided along religious lines. Am not encroaching on any body but advocating for peace All around the world.

I wish to thank @aviral123 and @Jyoti-thelight for their support
