I understand the reason...but not the presence of Religion. As long as your so called "system of life" has a ritual, it's called a religion. Abolish the ritual, then i would agree with you that it is a system of life. I have understood different religions, and immersed myself in it, but only recently that i found out what my belief is. I believe in God, but not in Religion. Christian Bible was not the word of God, but it is the "assumed word of God", and Islam is the continuation of the Bible, which makes it's authenticity another question. Everyone putting their belief on what's written on the book, when in fact the person to be credited for publishing the first Bible was a Pagan named Constantine! Ironic, isn't it? The Bible was the Selected text approved by the Council of the Nicene, and later on approved by Constantine, and now you are putting your faith on a book, and worst, there is an extension that you guys are believing? Believe in God + Reasoning = Deism, and that is my belief.
It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
