Faith is the surrender of the mind, it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other animals. It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me.. Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated . Christopher Hitchens
About This Quote

Religion is often seen as a way to gain happiness. Faith can be a force for good, but religion takes away reason and the ability to think for ourselves. Religion is the belief that everything that is happening in our lives has been planned by an all-powerful being. If this is true, then it makes sense that things will go our way. If you are born into a perfect world with no problems or struggles, then why would you need to work hard?
