Thank you for your honesty.
I would have added something about, what's to be made of the fact that religions are so exclusionary and elitist and favor in-group members, which does offer incentives (monetary and social) to stay in? Pretty fucked up kind of system to be supporting or belonging to, at least in the eyes of an outsider. I'd ask if there's any defense of that but I doubt it'll be coherent.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
