I am not so closed minded to say that god doesn't exist, nor will I say that he definately does. I will say that if he does exist, he probably doesn't want the blind woship that organized religion endorses. If he wanted that, he would show up in the middle of somewhere crowded and do something to make people believe. And then tell them to worship him (I refer to god as male, because that is the most popular form god takes.. Could be a woman, could be a hermaphrodite for all I know. It doesn't matter)
As for forcing religion onto people.. She can force you to go to church, but she can't force you to believe. I had this talk with my grandpa once. He seemed a little disapointed at first, but he got over it,and I went to church with him willingly after that because I knew it made him happy to have me there.
Now of course, I don't go to church. I'll go into a church for a wedding, a funeral, or a family reunion... But for me, it is not a place of worship. Seems to me, that the best place for someone to worship would be outside.. Preferably in the mountains as far away from man made things as possible.
