alan watts said this best. You can walk into a eastern temple and enjoy it. laugh. do all the "silly" little rituals. Religion is _supposed_ to be fun and NOT serious. The min you make it deadly seriously and tell children THIS IS REAL you defeat the point. i.e. life is one big ride and silly. Life is very very silly and not even a little bit serious. Even when people die. Espeically when people die. Live your life this way and you won't fear death. You'll enjoy your silly number of X years you get on earth and want to live a good life cuz that's the most silly fun you can have. And _that's_ how you get people to be "reglious". NOT BY PREACHING or saying do this "moral" behavior. No no no. Live it up. Go to Burning Man. Enjoy the ride is what religion was trying to tell us but the message is all mixed up now.
