Personally, I'm not sure what my religion would be considered. I know I'm on some branch of Christianity because I believe God is real, but I don't much believe the Bible or the common beliefs of most Christians.

That's aside the point I'm going to make here. I know it's probably been said a million times, but accepting others' religions is the best thing to do. After all, nobody is 100% sure who the real "big guy/girl" is. It's also great to have a religion, no matter what/who you believe in. It's great to have something/someone to believe in. And if you don't have a religion, that's great too! After all, you're okay to do pretty much anything as long as you're not physically or psychologically harming someone. It's really terrible how much strife there is over religion, when nobody is even sure of anything. We don't have proof of anything, really. But we still believe, right? That's okay. And it's okay to not believe.

This has been a PSA (kind of?).

Well...you'd be Agnostic. Believing in the existence of deity without prescribing to any doctrinal contract. And I agree, to a point, we should accept the beliefs of people.

Short of accepting Absurdism, everything is escapism.

Actually, yes. It is great to have an escape from the real world every once in a while. Because, if you haven't noticed, the real world isn't so great.
