Same here. Was raised by a purely Christian family, anti-abortion and anti-gay and all of that.

I may actually still be believing in their God if their answers didn't always sound like made up fits-all generic loyalist bullshit.

Religion should be a way of better, more moral living based on principles, not a weapon to impose yourself on others and justify all oppression with "it's God's will".

    A lot of religious people live that way, with the philosophy/self morality being the point.

    …A whole lot don’t, though.

    I think it’s unfair they give good folks a bad name. But at the same time, there is way too much tolerance for that hate under the cover of “religion.”
