Could you please point out the made up fairy tales you claim we believe in?

Oh that's just too tempting!

This thread has been knocked off track too far already so I won't bother.

There are serious problems with the definition of "religion:"

Many people have their personal favorite definition which they know to be the correct one, to the exclusion of all others. Unfortunately, there does not exist anything approaching a consensus.

Like Buddha in Buddhist countries, people have his image everywhere here, pray to him and respect him but do not think he is a God.

Can't really compare buddhism as it's a totally diffrent entity, The Buddha was person who created a religeon not somebody who claims to be gods representative on earth.

News / John Paul II's Beatification [134]

He was the pope, the head of the church, I don't think that makes him a false idol in the eyes of practising Catholics.

Leviticus 26:1, "Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God."

John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

btw I'm atheist and it's by researching religeons that has made me such.
