What are opinions about how God is a belief?

OpinionReligious belief leads one to have faith there is God and religious belief is the unquestioning acceptance of a religious dogma in the absence of proof. God requires faith. The essence of religious belief is faith.OpinionOn the other hand, there is no evidence that supports God is only a "belief." Religious belief leads one to have faith there is God, but belief in God can also lead one to seek religion. Religious fundamentalists may rely on dogma in the absence of proof when it comes to believing in God, but atheists also hold a BELIEF in the non-existence of God by employing no less dogma. Believing that God exists in the absence of direct observable evidence obviously requires faith. No one can say for sure what is the "essence" of religious faith when faith itself varies from person to person.

What constitutes the rules for determining if a belief is in fact a religion?

If we are talking about a religious belief (as opposed to a belief that, say, one football player is better than another), then it becomes a question of "just a belief or is there also religious behavior?" One can hold a belief -- an idea -- that there is a higher power or spirit responsible for the universe. If that is the extent of it, you can say that it is just a belief. When, however, we introduce behaviors, such as organized gatherings, prayer, sacrifices, pilgrimages, rites (baptism, communion, etc.)...and when specialists are involved (priests, vicars, pastors, rabbis, imams, etc.), then we are talking about a religion.


Why do people believe in their god but think no chance of a different god?

It seems part of our upbringing to hold a religious belief so strongly as to blind us to the possibility that others hold equally strong beliefs about another god. Even if people accept the right of people to worship another god or gods, this strongly held religious belief says that surely any other god must be false and its followers simply misled.

How do you argue against blind faith?

Don't. Other people are perfectly entitled to hold their religious beliefs, just as you are entitled to hold yours. In a perfect world, everyone is free to hold any religious belief, no matter how irrational. If someone whose blind faith makes him or her feel obliged to convert you, simply explain that you have your own, personal beliefs which are different from his and that, since you do not wish to convert him, it is not a subject for conversation.

Can nonverbal autistic people go to hell if they don't repent and don't understand can god forgive them?

There is no such place as hell, this is a religious belief not an actual place that exists in the real world. God is also a religious belief, like with hell it is not something that exists in the real world and only a minority of people hold this belief, God is not someone who has to forgive anyone any perceived ill-doing. An Autistic person, non-verbal or verbal, do not need your imaginary friend to forgive them.
