I'm not religious, no. But I do know a lot about Christianity (though that's just one religion). The Christian faith isn't about God and how He controls your life. It's about how He gives you the strength and courage in trying times to control your own life.

Let's not open the religious can of worms, because that's just going to involve people arguing about their core beliefs, which is pointless.

Religion and pre-determined fate are two separate things. You can be religious without thinking your life is planned out for you. So let's discuss them as separate issues.
