That's certainly untrue. As I said, every church (I should say most) is made up of a community of people who come together for more than just religious worship. It's a complex mixture of culture, religion, community, relationships and more. I know for a fact that there were non-believers who attended the same church I did (I've been to many over the years). You appear to be applying your own experiences and biases and generalizing over all other churches. This is almost always a mistake. And regardless if we consider their beliefs to be fairytales (and I do), religious faith still has strong power to bring people together and to motivate people for good or bad purposes. To say they are "just" playing fairytales is overly reductive.
You are being overelaborate. Life is much more basic than you think.

And of course, you dodged. I bet you are really good at dodge ball.It's inappropriate in a way you wouldn't understand.
Marriage is pointless, means nothing. I can fuck who I want if I'm married or not, if they consent (of legal age obviously*). If you consider cheating after marrying immoral I can accept that you can form a valid argument for it. But you need to realise some relationships, even marriages, are "open" (some two sided open, some one sided). Cheating in a relationship isn't something I've done. I could see why someone could think it's not immoral though. But you are actually considering pre marital sex immoral (assuming consent granted), you're ridiculous! Don't you enjoy having fun?
