    If someone wants to pray to some deity in the privacy of their own home, or together in a single meeting place, then there's really no reason to even think about it. If someone wants to take time off work or school to celebrate a happening in their religion, then it's completely fine. If someone wants to discuss it with other like-minded people, or with someone that's asked about it, then it's causing no harm.

    However, there is a point that it does start to be a problem. Using a religion to justify slaughtering innocent people isn't fine. Using it to constrict the rights of non-followers isn't right. Using it as a key factor in a decision, such as an election, isn't good.

    As long as it's used in a matter that doesn't harm anyone, I really don't care; there's no reason why it should really bother me. However, if it causes problems, then something should be done about the people that abuse it.
