I believe as much as we are physical beings we are also spiritual beings.
I believe religion will always be a part of the modern world ... as long as there are people there will be religion. There should always be a place for all types of faiths and beliefs as long as they do not cause harm to others.
I agree with you completely that it would be great if all religions could merge and in doing so keep the best of each. Sadly I doubt this will ever take place. We humans tend to be arrogant, selfish, and fearful of change. The core belief of most faiths is to love one another, to be kind, respectful, tolerant and forgiving yet with the same breath we'll scream in another's face and go as far as to maim/kill someone all in the name of God. I hold closest to Christianity because I was raised within it, but I am fascinated/curious by many faiths and systems of belief. I no longer attend church or categorize myself into any one faith and I follow no rituals but I do talk with God, give thanks, and try my best to adhere to the teachings of Jesus (as a teacher).

You give to the world when you're giving your best to somebody else.
