Saying someone is religious is heard in most of America as a compliment, a reassuring affirmation that someone will be moral, ethical, and after a few glasses of wine, a freak in the bedroom.

I don't respect thinking that is dangerous, prejudicial, childish, and could get me killed.

We're a complacent society, hard to get riled up in the first place, and then when we do, it's misdirected.

Spiritual assets allow us to see more clearly, love more deeply, and act more courageously.
