You've listed things that are fudamental to religion.  \n\nReligions are guides to help people live good lives.  In order to do that they must include rules to live by and guidelines for living a good life.  That's just what religion is.  (That doesn't mean that you have to have a religion to lead a good life.)\n\nDeities arise because the masses tend to need consequences for not following the rules.  It helps if you say "Hey, if you play with yourself in the shower, then God's gonna get you and burn you to a crisp."\n\nReligion also helps answer fundamental questions like "Why are we here, what's our purpose?"  People look to this God and think "well, he must know the answer." Badda-Bing origin stories.\n\nAs for an afterlife, well, you can't burn in hell for being bad, or live in peace and love for eternity for being good if there's not one.

Even if there was only 1 religion, it would still be nonsense.  They're all just a bunch of myths and legends supported by emotional appeals.

Christianity is not a religion. It's a relationship with God. Of course it's up-to-date. The Holy Spirit guides us and helps us apply the Bible to our daily lives.

I am a human being seeking the truth of life. I am open to truth. I see all human beings as my fellow beings. I am willing to listen to anybody. What do you call my religion?

Hey, can I start by raising the term Agnostic?  You know, if we got all the atheists and agnostics together we would probably out number all the religions in the world.  We could probably turn them into the quiet, life living people that we are.  It seems we are the only group of people that aren't trying to change everyone elses mind.  Why do the religious types have to go to the point of harrasment?  Religions only exist because all of us allow them to have their own oppinion.  I like to think we lead by example.

Math.\n\nMy child can have a sense of spirituality and God without Religion. Math is essential to be a successful in life.\n\nReligion is not the road to morals and principles. You can still teach your child right from wrong without religion. You can teach virtue and ethics. But you can not teach your child how to buy grocery, pay bills, balance a budget, pay taxes, etc without Math.\n\nMath is irreplaceable. And Spirituality can be gained without Religion.
