I am not a religious person and yet I consider myself to be spiritual. I am therefore a great believer in a  higher being that I can speak to in times of need, a higher being that will help me look into my very soul,  this being is linked not only to my spirit but the soul of every being on the earth whether it be man or animal, this links our bodies and minds together, helping to  guide and to find the answers and ways of solving  our problems, all we have to have is faith in ourselves, and all the spiritual desires we perceive will manifest themselves through us,

Do these ideas make us bad or a good people? Let us take a look at other religions, I have nothing against any religion per say if something good Is gained from it; I have met many good Muslims, Catholics, Jews, Protestants and Methodists, sometimes religion can get in the way of the whole  picture making us think too much about God and  Not what the god being expected of us.  If any of these religions help you and give you  hope and guidance then that is good.
     
I must stay that for some people Religion is a crutch that they need to lean on and it gives them strength but eventually strength must come from within not from without.  I have tried many Religions but personally they where not  much help,  Finding my inner self through loving and caring for my fellow creatures of the earth plane and mediating twice a day, helped me more to find that inner spirit, it helped  linking my mind to a higher spirit being which in return  came back to me, opening my mind  to greater things.
