When you reach the age of reason, will you reject supernatural religion?
Or will you seek a moral religion to replace the immoral one you now follow, if you happen to be Christian or Muslim?
Or will you let your faith hide the truth of the immorality of your God?

It seems like Faith is more of the root of the problem than Religion itself.
@Greatest I am,
Fear is perhaps the greatest enemy of candor. How many men fear to follow their consciences because they would rather conform to the opinion of other men than to the truth they know in their souls? How can I be sincere if I am constantly changing my mind to conform with the shadow of what I think others expect of me? Others have no right to demand that I be anything other than what I ought to be in the sight of God............ Thomas Merton, No man is as island...

Who says I haven't? You?
No. I am asking a question.
Why do you think I was focusing on you?
Are you one of the delusional ones?
Or do you base you beliefs on logic and reason?

Indeed.
Faith without facts is for fools.

You describe the difference between a sheeple and a goat.
We are not islands, true. Islands do not think and we do.
We are all in this together, alone. Being in a group is nice, but to ignore your own thinking is to lose your own identity.

Faith can only exist without facts, otherwise it isn't Faith. If there are facts behind it them we call it Understanding.

Correct. That is why faith without facts is for fools as they do not seek understanding, knowledge or wisdom.
