Many families force their ideals onto their children as if they are born into that belief. I’ve even seen schools represent particular faiths and educate their students in that one religion while others teach the belief of evolution.
I believe that faith is an independent practice, not a group activity. Why is it so hard to understand that every individual is born with the right to hold their own views without external influence. Religion is personal. If people are so touchy regarding their own religious beliefs, they should respect others’ opinions. How would they feel if the reciprocal action occurred and their beliefs were questioned. This concept applies to all systems and individuals.
No matter where it comes from, outside influence on faith needs to stop. Judgment is thrown down upon people of certain faiths. They are discriminated against because people are brainwashed by their surroundings to believe that their belief is the only one. My friend Rachel once said to me, “I honestly believe that all religions lead to the same thing, the end of life. And what happens after that is up to what you believed in.” I may not have a personal story, but I’ve always felt strongly about this. I believe that her statement is absolutely correct. I believe that all religion is the same in context not content and that people shouldn’t discriminate based on faith. I believe that people should have a right to believe whatever they feel is right and be able to feel okay about it.

I believe that people should be able believe whatever they feel, be to feel okay about their decision and not be discriminated based on that.
