Religion 3.0

Well, if you've ever been or lived in Utah, then no doubt about it, you know what religion is. Whether you know the biased opinion of religion, or you've formed your own belief about it, (which I would prefer), you know the basic idea of it. But why is it that Utah, and many of the active LDS members make such big deal about it? Why does it come as a surprise to them and almost offend them if you don't know their background and ask a simple question? Sorry to get your hopes up, I don't have the answer either, but it does bother me as well. I don't want to talk about the LDS religion because I am forced to enough already, but I do want to say, there are some good Mormons out there that practice their religion without making other people feel like they're bad people if they don't join. Anyway! Off of the LDS topic and back to the general topic of Religion. What defines it? A belief in God? A belief in the Bible? What is it? Personally, I think that's up to us to decide. If we want to consider our practices religions, so be it. There only becomes an issue when your religion practicing conflicts with someone else's rights or the law in general. Our Godfathers, the men who established our country made it a point in the constitution to make a direct correlation towards God. So we base our country off of God, and then decide to abandoned our speech towards our country because it has the word God in it...cool. What the crap is wrong with people? It's not like our teachers were forcing us to stand and say the speech, but it was a great tribute to our country and the people who fought for it. As you can tell, I'm slightly offended by the removal of this, but I understand why they got rid of it, however I still get frustrated with the subject.
