It’s complicated, but if I had to boil it down to a few crystals:

Religion makes a good person good and a bad person bad.

*All people have good and bad urges, and most people find themselves wrestling with whatever they view as “bad” sometimes. *Most people see the “bad” in everyone but ourselves and favorite people.

Believing in a literal deity isn’t necessary to believe in the overarching message, good, bad, or indifference.

I can’t go to any church within a reasonable distance because I’m not into people being unable to abide abortion or political assassination of our own corrupt leaders for any reason, but have no problem with genocide/invasion and regime change for commodities and real estate.

There are two UU churches in two different directions over an hour away. 😕
