I have a position that I have been assuming since my adolescence, when I dedicate myself to reading a lot about universal history, art, and definitely all this is related to how religions have evolved and how they have I have been taking more and more weight in the definition of world history, in how populations assume life.

I speak very specifically about the Catholic religion, since I know very little about the other hundreds or thousands of religions.
I want to ask some generating questions (I hope it generates comments that contribute and not conflicts):
Because the Vatican, knowing what was happening in that Nazi Germany, did not pronounce itself in advance of these atrocities? They were able to avoid millions of deaths with a warning in time.

However, if the Vatican is appointed around this issue, it is done by relating it to the management of the billions of Nazi funds ...

Who talks about the crusades? Do you know that some church believers, sword in hand, dedicated themselves to maintaining the Catholic empire in the middle ages? What role did the Holy Inquisition play? Do you know what that was? Did you have ideas that the Catholic Church created that institution to "establish order"? how? Murdering, that simple ...

So, how to believe? Particularly it is impossible for me to believe in an institution that has that history, which I always dominate by means of weapons, violence, and to inculcate ignorance in peoples and fear of a punishing god ... whose punishment was (and is ) exercised through the hierarchs of the church.

I have no doubt that in some spaces they have been able to help people, that there are those who believe faithfully in what the church says, and with that they are "happy" ... I respect them. But I prefer to believe in myself first of all, to know myself and to know what I am capable of, I believe that this is a virtue.

I consider it is a great defect that there is in the process of schooling, they do not teach you to believe in you first, to lay the foundations of your life in you, simply thinking that trust in God is enough, he will work so that everything is for you ... and it's fine, God (universal energy) always conspires in our favor, but the main thing comes from us, we are the owners of our lives and we must act so that things are always carried out with our feet on the ground , since this is where we are, and for many, it is like that because God so arranged it.

I understand that many believe faithfully in a religion, that taking life is usually something complex, making crucial decisions, it will undoubtedly be easier to do it under a "spiritual" guidance, particularly my life I live my way, trying to do things right , do good, help, without the need to believe in any religion, and in general I have done very well, I do not complain, when it has not been, I reflect and look for the mistakes I made, to prevent them from happening again. .. but for many, perhaps they think: "if I made a mistake it is because God wanted it that way, and before that I can not do anything."

I do not know if I explain myself, but to assume life that way is like giving up all possibility of making our decisions and justifying our mistakes with a punishing god, which I do not believe exists (eye is a personal opinion without the intention of offending anyone think differently),

I have made a specific mention about the catholic religion, but the same could be applied to other religions, of which I will not give examples since I have not deepened them, but seeing the history of the world, it is easy for us to realize that the wars have been always present, and if we go there to scrutinize, the religious factor will always be a constant.

I want to clarify that I am not against religions, that in spite of the above, I consider that they are of great importance for the vast majority of people and that I have relatives, friends, who have a religious conviction by which they govern their lives and they are excellent people. But I have no doubt that if they were not religious they would also be excellent people.

With this I conclude: I DO NOT BELIEVE IN ANY RELIGION.

But I respect them, as well as those who believe in them.
