"I think to debate where we came from is a "religion" in itself"
It's not the act of debating "where we came from" that amounts to religion, it's the worldview to which one adheres, and from which one begins to debate, that defines one's faith.
To divorce oneself from such an irrational perspective is to seek true enlightenment.

To divorce oneself from such an irrational perspective is to seek true enlightenment. Of course, I am was referring to religion in a figurative sense, as in what one places importance on. For example, if one values making gaining money above all else at the expense of other things, that becomes his/her "religion" in a sense. To debate where we came from is an art form for some, or in effect almost a "religion" as defined above. True religion of course, is belief and faith in God and adherence to his principles through the Savior Jesus Christ.
