I agree with what was already said. Being religious doesn't automatically label an individual immoral.
I'm well aware that the majority of religious people are generally good people who aren't affected by the horrors of their beliefs. It's similar to the statement some christians like to make, "hate the sin not the sinner". In this case it's "hate the belief, not the believer".
That being said, I find it extremely hard to see the good nature in most of the church representatives I know. I'm aware of this bias and try not to let it affect my relations with them. It will likely become easier when I'm able to get over the religious trauma, once the anger has subsided. I try not to blame them for what happened to me. Despite their horrific beliefs, they mean well most of the time and are, after all, just human.
