Hasn't this topic already been discussed to death on the forums?
Before people lay into each other too much, remember this: You cannot reason someone out of something that they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.
(Ironically the friend who told me that got stuck so far into feminism that she lost sight of the bigger picture, and the plot.)
And then I'll contradict myself a little bit to go on to say:

But we don't know the truth that's the thing.

You really should start listening to yourself before you contradict yourself further. You don't know anything. None of us know anything for sure - Not even the scientists. Some things are just beyond our understanding. It's just that the scientists have theories that make logical sense, and some evidence to back those theories up. Some religions on the other hand are based around ancient stories which are less believable than most fictional stories that exist today. I think I know who to believe more.
Maybe people who believe strongly in something need their security blanket to give their lives some sort of meaning, but I'll also say that we should rely on what we know for sure: We are alive. We should be making the most of what we know - The fact that we are alive. And that's what we should be trying to enjoy as best we can. We should be happy that we're experiencing this. Is how we got here and where we'll go really that important? Really?
