However, I do state in my profile that it is also 'Just My Opinion'.
Which leads to the reasoning behind this blogpost.
Let me state first of all I am very anti-religion. People sometimes ask me why 'anti'? To which I respond that growing up in school, I, along with the rest of the class, were sometimes made to watch Christian films.
The school was supposed to be non-religious. And yet, they brainwashed me into thinking if I pray and believe some fictional god is watching over me, this will prevent me from doing wrong.
I can understand why some people would follow this lifestyle for that reason. Good morals, values etc. But it's what they think are good, according to their religion.
This then has huge repercussions. One of which I have fallen victim to.
In particular, the way some religions treat women in comparison to men. I have a massive issue with this.
In some religions, women are not allowed to drive, receive education or work.
Leading to the men of that religion feeling inferior when around independent and superior women that do not share the same beliefs.
Thus resulting in them being highly disrespectful to women, purely because of something they believe is right for them.
Recently this has happened to a dear friend of mine and so I'm hoping by sharing this blog, some woman out there, even just one, will be inspired.
Religion is not law. Religion is not definitive of your life.
Religion:
the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
