It's odd how you're talking about religious communities supporting beliefs, as if numbers make any difference. If that's the case, then atheism has very little support compared to theism in all its forms. And if support has any bearing on validity, then theism must be more valid that atheism, by that reasoning. I'm not sure where you're going with that but it sounds as though you saying that the higher the number of people that agree with someone about a view, the more that constitutes actual support of the view. Numbers make no difference, which is why the fact that my beliefs are relatively unique makes no difference. Again I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. I think maybe what you're trying to say is "very few people agree with your specific combination of views, doesn't that make you feel unworthy or invalid or stupid?" The answer is of course no. If that's what your point is.

I haven't abdicated a sense of morality. Where are you getting all this from?
