Sounds like you've just told me how one interpretation is less valid than another - ironically, what you asked another poster to provide - but I think that you just can't get right on this, personally.
That brings to mind a thought experiment, not entirely unlike angrboda's. Let's just imagine that everything I might think about your religion is true. Are you morally responsible for holding it, as you are, as a human being, as an entity currently incapable of not believing - can I hold you morally responsible for that false and bad belief? You don't intend to do harm by it, you don't control whether you believe it, and you don't control how your beliefs pan out in the world.
Are you or can you be held morally responsible for holding that belief..and, if so, how?
