^^^ All the above concepts are rejected in man's true religion Islam.
One cannot reject religion alltogether until they have studied Islam
What about this... if you are thankful to God for what you have... doesn't that mean that you think you have CONTROL OVER GOD? If he responds to your worship, prayer and faith with blessings, doesn't that mean you can control him, manipulate his actions and basically USE him to your advantage? Don't you think that would be a little too much? LOL.
Alot of people in the West reject religion because all they've been exposed to is Christianity and primarily the New Testament. The night was so cold and dark for them that every night they awaited "the RISING of the SUN". So naturally for them, they concocted the story of God's Sun Rising aka Jesus being the Sun of God and the Ressurection. Check these 4 verses...Old Testament: "The heavens (the morning sky) are declaring the Glory of God." Ps 19:1New Testament: "Jesus is the Glory of God." 2 Cor 4:6Old Testament:"The SUN of Righteousness will arise!"New Testament:"God's son... he has risen!" Matt 4:16^^^ All the above concepts are rejected in man's true religion Islam. One cannot reject religion alltogether until they have studied Islam which is submission to the Highest Creator without any created intermediary.
Do you ever take time out to reflect on your life?
Are you thankful for everything you have?
Who do you thank?

I believe that god has mapped out a path for me but I am not religious with respect you are getting god and religion mixed up. I do not follow a religious path but do believe in a god, and do pray sometimes.
