No one understands what your first sentence says because it's an empty platitude.

The fact that religion is "fundamental" to you really helps you out? Care to actually elaborate with specific examples because that's literally an empty phrase.

I find that most people use religion to absolve themselves of responsibility and make themselves feel superior to "lessers" (aka non believers).
