Agnostic is as defined a person who doesn't believe that a certainity pertaining to God can be reached. I have refined this in my earlier post and myself defined it as a person who believes there is no reason to attempt to define a religion, belief and impose it on all others. Basically I am against the forced cloning of ideals that religion basically has come to be.
Now with new insights I intend to add some thoughts to it. Religion is not a bad thing, the same old logic of too much = bad applies here. The problem is that religion may at best be a consolation to the people who might need it from time to time when in need of support and strength (though its always better to find it within yourself). But people will be the same, they tend to over-rely on anything that gives them comfort, be it medication (druggies), entertainment(lazy bones) or food (fatties) and the same is true for religion. The reform we need in here is more self-restrain and not simple abolishment of religion or any such sweeping change. We need to realise that all people are not strong enough for them to be able to deal with the realities of life and the idea of having some sort of a emotional support for them is not at all repulsive. It's more like we need to make it more of a personal thing. Do what you need to help yourself and thats it. There is no need to make everyone see the things in the same way as you. An anology I can see of the present situation is of a addict under influence hating all the sober people around him. Actually there is nothing more interesting about this whole thing. More focus needs to be given to actual important stuff that may help people live better. ~!

a common fat thought nicely put! :)
The said is very true untill someone actually comes at a stage to feel so. Man takes a lot of things for granted and God in one's religion is one.
The way religious ethics and acts have been modified and moulded by some, religion has become in some sense destructive for personal human development.
Religion just gives a defined protocol and architecture of the way one should spend his life and about what may be good or bad.. Thus if a man has that sense i.e. actually the common sense then he can be religious in his own way and define his own religion.
