(17,984 posts)I also watched many friends become much more tolerant as they realized their own hidden prejudice.
Those are the ones who realized their Religion was being used to spread hate and fear. That is also a reason why so many Churches are shrinking, not growing.
I am one of those who realized the Church I was attending was nothing but a right wing, do it my way or the highway, gun loving ,pretend Abortion hating, Bible clutching, greedy, fearful who thought nothing of taking the programs that help the poor, elderly and sick among us.
They hated the ACA that was a start to help everyone.. they used the first 3 things I mentioned to ease their conscience by comparing Trump to Churchill, for Heavens sake! No 2 men could be less alike.
So I found a Church that Follows in the Footsteps of Jesus!
Millions are doing the same or simply checking out of Organized Religion.
