Your religion is not important. Whether you are religious or not is not important, either. Still, religion is supposed to make humans and life on earth better, happier, more peaceful, and full of love and compassion. Let's follow this talk between Leonardo Boff and the Dalai Lama:

Remember:
Thoughts--> Words--> Actions--> Habits--> Character--> Destiny--> Life
The best religion is the one that makes you a better person.
What is important?
Your behaviors in front of your peers, family,work,community, and in front of the world.
Being happy is not a matter of destiny. It is a matter of options.
