The question should not be what is your faith ,but do you have faith? In allowing each individual pray and worship as they wish we tear down the walls and prejudices that have separated us from the beginning of religion.

More blood has been shed in the name of religion than in any other points in history, and we forget that religion is not based upon the deity you worship but by personal interpretation of each and every person towards their religion. There is a reason we have a division of church and state, and there is a reason we have all walked on the paths only we can understand.
