"Religion is first and foremost about worship of a being referred to as God, or Allah, or some other name, where said God has created man in his image. It’s a set of rules to live by, created around a social gathering where you worship. It gives people structure, organization, and a social group of people who all believe the same. But worship is directed through the church, and deviation from how the church says things should be is punished. They preach love, and practice intolerance of everyone who does not belong to their faith, usually without being aware of it."
From Timothy Ellis' book Hero At The Gates
