I think a lot of religious people are pretty down to Earth, principled people who try to be good...

There's a lot of corruption in religious institutions too and some ignorant religious texts but the same applies for any institution; individual.

A majority of religious people I know don't hate gays or reject medical science or even play the moral highground. What's with all the trolling?

Which religions? Why should older mean better? Might makes right? Which religion has the edge In choosing what is moral? Does it mean to be "down to earth" when it comes to blindly accepting magic based claims? Some sort of afterlife should be the motivation?

I appreciate the education and critical thinking skills that were taught. My beliefs are based on evidence. The adage I go by is: If it’s not science, it’s superstition.

@BlueSkyKing

1. Most religions.

2. Never said older is better.

3. Never said might makes right.

4. In my own opinion no religion has the moral edge of what is right.

5. Just because someone believes in something that is not in alignment with others reality doesn't mean they can't be a down to Earth person in respects to who they are and how they respond to the World around them.

6. Incoherent to my post.

In response to your statement: That's fine, that is who you are or claim to be doesn't mean that everyone needs to be in alignment with how you look at the World.

@Misanthropic When you said most of the religious, is it closer to 51% or 99%?
