(26,778 posts)towards religious believers, but I think there a reason. Religion is constantly in our faces. Everyone's praying for everyone for one thing or another. Even football players for some reason feel the need to kneel and pray in a crowded stadium. What the hell is that all about? Praying about football? If I was religious, I would think that blasphemy. I think bringing religion into every facet of everyday life is unnecessary and annoying and could be the reason for the hostility.
Everyone is entitled to their own personal faith. If people want to donate to the church of their choice, I don't care. I was once a church goer myself and donated every week. I tried hard to believe, but just couldn't find the faith, so I stopped being a hypocrite and bowed out. I'm fine with people of faith, just keep it to yourself and, as I like to tell people, if you feel the need to pray for me, please, pray for our president instead. He's a believer and I'm sure he would welcome it. You should hear some of the responses I get.
