Everyone is the same amount of religious in my experience. The people who join an established religion gain the quality of being predictable.

- JauntyHatAngle 7y agoI really don't see that one. There are people willing to drink poison for their cult - I don't see that level of religious fervour from the vast majority of people. People who join an established religion also vary wildly. Gangsters and pedophiles sit next to soccer mums and librarians at church services. I don't see the predictability or religious-(ity) being at all normalised.

- watwut 7y agoThe religion as in believe in supernatural is not the issue that much. Who they cooperate with and support is the issue I have - and of course support is related to who have similar/compatible ideologies in some sense.
