America's nonreligious are a growing, diverse phenomenon. They really don't like organized religion

[Aussie105]

1. Nothing wrong with faith, belief, religion.

As long as it stays a personal thing, kept private.

Who or what you see as being a guiding light in your life is up to you. Not open to discussion.

Could be the benevolent purple 10 tentacled octopus king from Jupiter, for all it is someone else's business.

As soon as it becomes organised, with some select people claiming to be 'in charge', it morphs into something quite different.

Some non-profit charitable religious groups are fine, as long as they focus on their charity work.
Few do.
