What do you think?

My own opinion is that there is no religion. Only different groups of people who want to make money from made up stories.

Again, that's my own opinion.

Even though I'm not a follower of Jesus, I deeply respect people who have faith without the need of religion.

Pretty sure it does exist...
Whether one is right or not is an entirely different matter, and one we will (most probably) never have the answer to.

Beautiful.

There is a lot of misunderstanding over what the video is stating.

It is from a Christian perspective, and thus "Religion" takes on a different meaning from a more secular meaning.

I loved that video!!!!!!! i agree with it since it puts me on the spot. Especially my brother.

Spoken Word is where it's at.

This video mirrors quite a bit of my own thoughts on religion. I always believed that since religion is a man-made thing it was flawed and thus could be corrupted. Whose to say the Bible we read today hasn't been tampered with over the years by high seated church officials wanting us to behave how they want us to? I mean, the heads of these religions are mere mortals same as us yet they claim to have a higher understanding of what God wants from us and somehow this "higher understanding" always results in them sitting pretty. And church seems to have become so superficial nowadays with people pretending to be all holy and whatnot on a Sunday yet being complete jerks every other day of the week.

(To Renji Abarai) "Puh-Lease! I'm just a lowly-but-handsome candy merchant. How could I possibly perform Bankai?"

The video is interesting and he catches your attention. But, he never defines what religion is, he never shows us where Jesus says He doesn't like religion, and religion itself is not inherently bad.

For a good article that refutes this video, read: http://theamericanjesus.net/?p=4970. I find it to be an accurate assessment, particularly points 2 & 4.
