Each and everyone of us has an innate right to choose a personal belief and/or religion. It is no secret that there are a lot of religions in the whole world. There are some old and established ones and some new springing ones.
Religion, most often than not, tends to shape ones values and virtues as an individual. We emulate those leaders and elderly that goes to our chosen religion. We try to walk their footsteps in following the directives of different scriptures, ex. The Bible, Quran, The 4 books and 5 classics, and the like.
Having that said, we are different in upbringing added by the difference in culture, tradition, and ethnicity. This results in numerous cases of misunderstanding, riots and power control that I think most of us experienced or is aware of.
It is no secret that most wars and feuds are effects of religion and beliefs differences. There have been accounts of Christians enforcing their beliefs to a land they conquered, the historic WW2 that started when nazis wanted to kill all Jews.
If religion was supposed to guide as in becoming people who have moral values and such. Why does occurrences like these prevail? For me, there is just one answer, lack of respect to differences.
Imagine if all just resected the belief of one another, wouldn't the world be more peaceful? If you are in a diverse crowd, be sensitive and allow each to pray in their own way.
Read and let yourself be familiarized with common practices from different religions. This way it is easier to understand why they do it. Making it easier to respect it.
Religion and belief is in all of us. It would not hurt anyone if we just lived together in respect amidst those differences.

This is why the reason why others choose to be atheist, dont believe in religion. Everyone should respect everyone's belief.
