@Oozenet @rhiannongrant @fraying out of curiosity, how do you define faith and how does religion without faith work? I'm in agreement with the general points here that a lot of atheist ex-Christians don't seem to understand that not all religions are the same as Christianity and/or necessarily harmful or evil and we should just leave people with non harmful beliefs alone, but my understanding of religious belief still indicates to me that there's faith involved — i.e. a choice to believe in something that imbues your experience of life with more meaning and wonder and explains and gives coherency to your life, despite it not being necessitated by any particular personal experience (since you can always come up with perfectly fine naturalistic explanations) or evidence (whether scientific or otherwise).
