Yup, I believe because I have this need to believe, and I believe that God created this need inside us so we may seek him.

In my case, I don't need to.
Religion is a function of a materialistic person.
If you need a sense of security and/
or a sense of belonging -then you need religion and everything that comes with it.
Including the concepts of Heaven and Hell.

Religion points to the truth, the existence of God. If we are only religious for the sake of it, then we are missing the point of religion.

I'm sorry to say this bro, somehow you forgot something in the seven habits of effective people.
No offense intended. I hope you still have the book.
What is the principle of religion as stated in the book?
|
Yup, I'm still reading the book.
I guess what the author is saying about religion is that a person can be "church-centered", but not necessarily be "principle-centered".

Is religion important to a centered person?
|
To a person centered on principles, religion may or may not be important. I think there are people who are principle-centered and very religious and spiritual, and also people who may not go to church often or at all, but who recognize God, are spiritual, and are driven by principles.

Then where should you center your life on?
Or, what should be your life's center?

Still from the book, the highly effective person centers his life on principles.
