My Mom went to her death a Catholic, she believed in God and she was my biggest supporter. Was she full of shit on her beliefs? Sure, but was she a bad person? No.
At this point in history, it is extremely important to fight hyper nationalism and not ignore that it is based on religion. But even given that, we cannot as a species afford to become what we say we hate.
