I was raised by strongly Christian parents. We went to church every Sunday and my parents even sang in a gospel quartet that sang on the radio and in a lot of other churches. But I was lucky that my parents were not self-righteous, judgmental, hypocrites. They had strong beliefs but they knew they could not force the entire country to pass laws based on their beliefs.
In the real world I do not attack religion. But here pretty much the only time religion come up is in the context of a political discussion. And in those situations I will always attack anyone who claims that the law should be based on their religious beliefs. So I can understand why so many people think that I am actively anti-religion. But I know that many religious people are charitable and loving. They just need to keep their religion to themselves instead of forcing it into our laws or the public domain.
