The Idea of Religion

Do you feel that religion is an important part of faith?

Reminder: Faith by Dictionary.com: "The trust in God and in His promises."Religion: "The practice of religious beliefs; ritual observance of faith."

Please don't be discouraged if you don't believe in any God figure. Use what you know about faith, religion, and your own ideas to answer the questions. Do you believe that being a good person is enough to the point that religion is not relevant?Do you think the world would be a better place without the idea of religion but rather based solely on faith?

Thanks for your help!

Will racism ever die?

Do you think racism remains a serious problem in the United States? In Illinois? In Champaign-Urbana? What do you base your views on? Please give me your thoughts on this subject. If you have any personal experience with racism, I'd like to hear that, too. Thanks for your help!
