It's true.

Sometimes religion says the truth about some things, like floodings and about some other scientifical things, but again, there's are no gods for human eye to see and for human hand to be touched, so, at that part it's a lie.

its not a lie... its just a few truths about humanity (we steal, we lie, we covet) and ideas of how to remove those out of our society (thinking your going to hell might be a good deterrent) but really it is ideas from humans and that is all. whether god influenced them or not was their expiriance and their opinion, we cannot follow these as personal truths, we must all find our own personal truth about higher powers, why the universe exists, what the meaning of our life is. it ws not a lie to those people who wrote it and not to those people who feel they understand it, but it is false to follow something only because you think its the only way, without question. in every aspect of our lives such as voting, dating, arguments, we must decide where we stand and only you can make that descision for yourself based on what you learn.

That's not the point. What matters is the feeling that it gives you when you believe in it.

Religion itself it neither. it's simply a belief and is also the lazy mans way of explaining natures laws, physics and the way life evolves because they are to lazy or unwilling to dig deep enough into natural sciences.. "It's to far complex to have possibly happened by means of survival of the fittest." But that argument quickly falls away once we discuss politics, finance or any of our daily every day activities and then the survival of the fittest suddenly is THE law, but somehow not in nature? How utterly absurd. I don't subscribe to any religions, but will defend to the death anyones right to practice it even though I know as fact it to be extremely flawed from the get go which is something the "religionous" of society is unwilling to allow to happen.

Not a 'lie' exactly. Santa Claus is not a lie (to use a somewhat trivial analogy). We know he is real. He influences our behaviour - child or adult. We know where he lives, what he does, when he does it, what he wears, what he looks like and everything. But - we know deep down that he is not 'really real'. Santa doesn't have an existence outside the collective human imagination - but he has quite a presence within it. Gods are pretty-much the same really - but much bigger and more complex concepts.
