Someone once said, ¨stand up for what u believe in, even if it means standing alone¨. For me it is very important to stand up for what we believe in, because if we don’t than how would we succeed in life. Standing up is a very powerful thing to do now a days.

Many modern day conceptions of religion involve the idea that, in order to be religious, one must attend a religious service weekly or pray to a higher power before meals. Also, one must agree with and follow a certain set of beliefs laid out for them by their religious tradition of choice.
