And therein you have the proximity of belief over fact, myth over morality. To some, religion is faith as the sword, the club of obedience. The morality of community interest, as reflected in teachings of ALL religions (and some non-religions) is to be preferred over the politics of religion reflected in the (purported) advancement of the faith, when that faith is used to mislead, obfuscate and otherwise subjugate people in contravention to their own best interests. My beliefs lie in "personal decisions, personal consequences; individual opportunity, individual achienvement."
When community chooses/volunteers to help those who need it, that's desirable. When government mandates that effort through involuntary taxation and decision-making, that's reprehensible.
