    Those many “private, personal” benign religious people form a strong foundation upon which the crazies, cults, and conmen build their structures.

    In my experience, these benign people are one tragedy away from metastasizing into the malignant religious type.

    I have cousins who were benign-religious for most of their life, but after a death in the family they started following a new sect of christianity. Their children have never seen a doctor, nor a vaccine.

    I agree people are entitled to their personal freedoms, but we would be much better off as a society if we could educate our way out of the cancer that is religion.
