Honest? It's like asking is there some honest ufologist who has some honest books about aliens and flying saucers.
Perhaps both ufologists and theologians feel like they are being honest but when you look in their books you see that it is very dishonest because they are delusional.
Having said that, I do not go as far as to call religious belief 'delusional', not just because it comes across a little bit demeaning, but because it is not commonly agreed. I agree with the common view that beliefs in gods, for example, are not delusions.
I'll move on with that; there are other things to do. I wish you the best.

I do not ask that you respect religion, but we need to respect the religious, because they are rational humans just like us atheists. I was rational when I was a Christian. I believed because of indoctrination, not lack of intelligence.
