In short, yes. I get that religion is important to people - but it seems like far too often, people get obsessed with specific details about a religion, like what you're not supposed to do, eat, wear... And seem to forget that first and foremost religion is about respecting and loving each other, and not hating people.
I think that they are. As a general rule, I think religion can be healthy - it can help you through difficult times, be reassuring to think that you're not alone, and it help you solve personal problems.
However, it seems that many people (from my experience, it seems to be mostly Christians) are so obsessed with their religion that they become convinced that they are right and everyone else is wrong. And then they don't understand why people get annoyed when they try to convert them! If we let them believe what they want, why can't they let us believe what we want to believe?
And some of them believe the not-so-nice parts of the Bible. There's one boy at my school who says that he is accepting of everyone (because you have to love your neighbour) except for gays, atheists and disabled people - and he said that in front of a group of people who were all atheists or agnostics, several who were gay or bi and a disabled boy. Not to mention the sexist, homophobic and slightly racists comments. All in the name of religion!
And then of course there's those insane people who kill others in the name of their religion and God - if that's not obsession, I don't know what is.
So, yes. I think that many people are far too obsessed with religion and God.
Yes lot people are obsessed over God that's why people don't go to church, cause you have people come up to you and say oh we need to see you, come more often. It sort of scares people away.
Yes, but some are in denial like my neighbor and unknowingly make refrences all day, but I also believe that if they truly believe that, they should. I just think that they could keep it to themselves a tiny but more
