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.
...And that's the other thing. Some of you assume the only reason any of us believe is because we were "brain washed" as kids and manipulated into doing so.
"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."
