I really liked your whole post.
Let me just clarify this last part, when I referred to myself as a "woman of faith" I really just meant being Christian lol. I was trying to avoid using that word as not to get people riled up.
But yes, asking what I'd be like if I wasn't Christian would be the same as asking me what I'd be like if I wasn't female. It's that much a part of who I am.
I agree with you that the word "faith" doesn't necessarily have anything to do with religion.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
