If you don't mind me asking, what happened to you regarding your religious experience?

Fair question, I guess you can say I put my religion into a historical context and started to question. As most tradition found in many religions can be tied back to a historical event or context. Why book XYZ was included in the Bible, Koran etc, why certain holidays are followed and others are not, why you must do A instead of B. All can be tied to specific events that occurred in history between conflicting societies and belief structures which changed and evolved when necessary to incorporate others into the fold.

Also during my youth many interpretations on religious scripture changed depending on who said them (priest,family member, friend, etc) and the context they were used (while no ill will yours did too, its human nature). When hard questions were asked, I was simply informed I just needed faith and to re-read the bible (but ignore all the insane verses found). When I still questioned at a young age say 14-17, I was told I was tempted by the devil and the word of God was being blocked (basically stop questioning and accept what we say).

I slowly began to realize religion wasn't for me, I saw how it gave some people a sense of community and purpose, but for me I saw it as nothing more than my neighbours and friends admitting they were afraid of the unknown and this was their answer/comfort (they had a cushion for all the unknown). I from then on viewed religion (any religion/belief, even from man hundreds of thousands of years ago), and from my view point in a historical context made sense; it was a way for early humans to explain the unknown and when society developed and major organized religions took hold, it gave those humans in their respective times purpose/unity for better or worse. In modern times this still in my opinion holds true with some societies even more so (middle east).

I currently believe I admit I do not know anything about the universe, though given its size and what we know currently; I personally believe it’s silly to believe we are the focal point in it. The universe may be run on entropy or a grand divine plan. We could be alone in a sea of trillions of galaxies or one of trillions of intelligent lifeforms throughout space. An afterlife may exist or this may be it for us. I do not know, what I do know is so far all evidence points to myself having a finite existence here, and I can still be a good person and enjoy life without taking the word from early societies also trying to explain the same things through what they knew in their own historical time periods. I am sure many thousands of years from now, humans will be studying us in the same context we study early homo genus and even then their religions will fill the gaps for what they still do not know. :)

At this point I usually either make people call me a moron or tell me I am a sinner and going to hell. So I admit this is my stance, you may have yours, and lets just agree to disagree on how the universe works and our existence in it.
