You should learn how to respect other people and their own thoughts, that is a very uncool thing to say. So what if someone believes in a god? Just because YOU don't believe in a god does not give you the right to tell people who do are wrong.
I can equally say "you're making yourself look dumb." It's people like you who make me really hope that there really is a god in life.

Sometimes there's tons of evidence and people still don't believe. I've had family members tell me they've seen ghosts and seen flying saucers. I believe them, majority of the world will not. There are countless other people who also make the same claims and yet people still don't believe the evidence.

Do we really? There's a lot about ourselves, especially our minds, that we do not understand. We have only decoded such a small % of the human genome so how can you say for certain that we know and have 100% proven that witches never existed? I have certainly had dreams where I saw myself doing something in the future and later come true. They even have a word for it, Deja Vu.

Yup, AMEN. And besides, it's VERY VERY important because religion represents a person. It represents WHO they are so how can it not be important? That's like saying it's not important if a President is racist or perhaps interested in the same sex? It will influence what policies they make and how they interact with other people/cultures. Religion is very important as well as every other part of them that makes them who they are as an individual.
