BELIEF IN GOD Vs RELIGION

When it comes to religion, there are a variety of wars, sub-wars, mainstream wars, and inner-wars going on. Catholics, Vs Baptist, Vs Christian, Vs Scientology, Vs QAnon, Vs Methodists, Vs Jehovah Witnesses, Vs Islam, Buddhist, and so much more, and yet, all of them Vs the non-religious and non god-believing Atheist. If anything they can all agree on, Atheist are evil. And within that part is where this topic slightly takes place.

I’ve been an atheist since I was 9-years-old, and it took a few years thereafter to even know that I was that by label of exterior identification. Recently (as of this year) in the comment section of my YouTube channel, a person pointed out that there is a difference in believing in god and being religious. She noted that she did not go to church or attend the multitude of events and functions and gossip circles involved in her former church. This brought pause to me and I had to do some thinking for a better enlightenment.

Over the course of a few weeks, I listened further to religious leaders, followers, and apologists, and found a new understanding of the separation of church and god. While there are tons of nuances involved with any road dealing with religion, and belief, I want to hyper focus on one variant as if nothing else exists. I need to do this in order to keep this short and to the point.
