Do you still believe in God and/or religion?

This is how i view about god, belief systems and society..........
 I know that belief system is really mysterious. A black cat crosses the street and then we think oh it might bring bad luck, a sane mind overcomes his belief and gathers his courage and crosses the street while the "what if " minds stay for others to pass or changes his way. 
That was just an example of how belief effects our daily life. Similar, examples follow with religiosity. It is hard for someone who has been told that god exist and so we should direct our effort to please gods will, to abandon his thought about god and allied belief. But we need to question things which do not look appropriate to get the answers. Sometimes we don't get answers for our question like the existence of god. Nobody can prove existence of god. We can only find people who claim of feeling god or meeting god in dream etc. But that is not enough, not enough at least for now where we give credibilty to things that can be seen, touched, predicted etc. So it's better to analyze things in your own way to come to conclusion.
There are lots of question which can not be answered. Just that it could not be answered now does not mean it cannot be answered. But it should not be mistaken for god's will or power. In the past people could not answer mysterious things so instead named it god or god's will so let us not think that god is really a supernatural being who is in constant vigil. 
People can be civil and humanistic without fear of god.  If a fear is employed to make people diciplined than once that fear is gone they may think that they can do anything but if you fill people with ethics and obligation of society then they will turn out to be better human being.
 There are some people who do things without thinking of god. They don't even know that if there is god. But they think that there is something called soul or spirit. I don't think there is any soul or spirit or anything of that sort. Like someone asked how does a living becomes dead all of sudden. Its simple, some of our parts stop to function as they should so they die. Just like any machine which stops all of sudden because something breaks down. Machine can be fixed. But humans cannot be fixed. Why? It is simple, machine are not constantly evolving once a machine is made it remains the same but humans are not. Just like a fruit which starts from flowering to being a green fruit and then ripe fruit followed by senescence ultimately to decay in the soil, humans are born to decay.
