Why is religion such a big thing?

K ,so I was born into a world that believes in nothing but religion , I can't stand it, I think it's so freaking stupid and pointless, there is no proof that it even exisist , It's like saying there is a giant floating meatball flying around , you can't unprove that , if you ask me its the same thing with this thing called " a god " it dosen't exist and people are so ignorant that they get to the point where the go to war for just religion , countless people dying for a belief that hasen't bin proven and that can't be proven , can you belive that I saw something so sad on the new where a son told her mother he was gay and she kicked him out to the street and told him he was no longer her son , why ? because this idiot women said that in the bible gays are not accepted , she cried and said "what am I going to do now ?!?!?!" now I'm not saying that I like gays and bi's but who am I to judge someone , and who are you to judge some one ? idk , tell me the truth guys do you really feel religion is important ? do you really believe there is a supreme being controling every single little thing that occures on this planet ? I think you can say I'm an athiest but can you blame me , think deeply , don't you guys see it aswell , religion isn't real , its made up , there is no god .... ( BTW sorry for any mispelled things )
