Being Too Religious

Religion is a personal thing. Everyone has the right to believe in what they want or not to believe at all. I am not a participant of any religion, I agree with some assumptions about everyday life of various religious but I don’t believe in any vision of god they propose. Religion might be good and might be bad. It doesn’t depend on a god someone believes but on an impact religion make on someone’s life. If it helps him in everyday life, explains him something and helps to become a better person than I totally respect that. Religion can on the other side be a bad thing when the participant is too religious. By too religious I don’t mean following the commandments or respecting festivities but doing more than the given religion expects. When people over interpret their religion they tend be very radical in their views and not tolerate any other religions. Sometimes they start to fight in the name of religion which doesn’t require it from them. They fight to make other people believe not for their freedom of believes. When this happens, people get killed. History had shown many examples of a bad influence of being too religious. We can see them even now.
