Religion is used for manipulation. That is the difference.
...Yet take a much more critical/judgmental approach when it comes to people taking joy in their faith.
Why does the logic of "if it makes you happy, go for it" get tossed out the window when it comes to theists who's faith brings them happiness? Who are happy when they go to church, pray, sing together, believe, etc?
Some food for thought.
Also, I just posted this to see opinions. I dont plan on buying this game. As far as I have gone is making some costume t-shirts with my favorite anime girl characterFor some reason, women make a face of disappointment when they see me with those shirts xDDD
While I won't deny religion being pushed on children young has had detrimental effects, the same does not apply to those who did not grow up in religion but decided to believe well in to their adult years. What do you say to those situations?
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
