Fun Religion Fact of the Day:
During the medieval ages, the Holy Roman Empire instated an official Anti-Pope. He job was not to destroy the world in order to appease Satan (that would be too cliché), but to second-guess and disagree with the Pope at every possible point in time. This was in order to make the Pope rethink all of his decisions, but I imagine it must have been annoying.
"Tomorrow is to be declared a holiday!"
"Are you sure, I think they have enough of those already."
"Now is a time to rejoice."
"Not while that famine is going on in Sicily, it isn't"
etc. etc.
Now, to get back on track, I go for Agnosticism: the religion of perpetual uncertainty. Basically, Agnostics believe that it is impossible to understand the true nature and origin of the Universe, and as result live smugly in the knowledge that even though they're not right, no one else is. It's surprisingly comforting to live in self-induced ignorance.
