What I want to know is:
What is the purpose of religion?
Is it a set of stories to help us be good?
If so, why do we need stories to be good?
Why should I be bothered by people with their silly rituals and untrue beliefs (yes, some people actually believe them, not everyone sees them as just metaphor) to try and make me fit their definition of good?
Why can't they try to reason me to their values instead?

Why do we have the need to believe in a higher power to explain the unknown? why can't we just be okay with not knowing?

Questioning religions — What are your critical questions about religion? Post them here, so we can compile a list of those questions. I will attempt to remove duplicates in the list, but they can stay in the comment section. Please like one, instead of duplicating it. Also, keep it short, and no conversation in this thread please. - The moderator
