Religion.....what's the deal homes?

Everyday there's something new about religion...just as an example...a spiritual leader doing sumthing unforgiveable..sleeping around, doing drugs and what not.. so now i can't possibly listen to the christian or muslim or herbrew israelite that tells me church, temple, etc, is neccessary now..because religion and things related to it are all over the place right now...i never really had an idea what i was anyways...you never know what opinions and obligations people might throw at u when u join one or leave one. To some people, atheism (is that what it's called?) is the worst thing possible...of course some people think that doing it before marriage is wrong too...so i don't get it. Where does everybody fall into at the end of the day?
