JM, interesting that if this country denies you so many rights that you are still here.

FA, the key word you mentioned in regard to religion is "faith". I thought this was a fair definition in the context of the discussion.

faith: The term is employed in a religious or theological context to refer to a confident belief in a transcendent reality, a religious teacher, a set of teachings or a Supreme Being. However, some atheists and agnostics consider the term to be a euphemism for religious superstition.

Since faith implies a trusting reliance upon future events or outcomes, it is often taken by some people as inevitably synonymous with a belief "not resting on logical proof or material evidence."

I am busy fighting for them. Oh and so you know this has always been my country and I will work from within to throw off the shackles imposed by religious bigots.

I subscribe to these definitions!
