I'm sorry but that comment made no sense, was not relevant, and was childish. Someone doing good for themselves and getting on a better life track
-that's not exactly how I'd describe the majority of peoples religions - people doing good for themselves and getting on a better lifetrack. Right now, it seems to mostly be about being terrified of the gays, shouting at whores, and keeping out the browns.
Try this....though, imagine some completely intolerable religion. Accept that it might actually be the case that a person needs that religion, just like some criminal needs to commit crime. Does that make their intolerable religion tolerable?
