I have seen quite a number of Christians, my wife is Catholic. I myself would rather remain open-minded about religion although I do not believe in this idea that God creates and our destiny is to be reunited with the "creator." For now, I accept that I will not know everything in my lifetime. Others can believe what they want. The last couple of hundred years have seen changes in our understanding of nature increase exponentially, and I believe we're only at the beginning. Who knows what the next fifty years will bring? Established religions will face a hard time keeping to old, ancient tenets. Many people do belief that we're not the only intelligent beings in the universe. We're on the verge of a new era of thinking, I think.
Cheers!
