The power of religious dogma, that has been inculcated early, is so great that it destroys conscience and finally all compassion and sense of humanity

But it is not just fundamentalists who have a problem quitting religion, most people can’t even begin to doubt it

I don’t know if there’s any difference between fundies and ordinary churchgoers relative to quitting religion; but, I do know there is a huge difference between them regarding the societal impact of their religion. One is a wolf, the other a sheep. One is dangerous, the other is not.

Of course. Ordinary churchgoers are not leaders, they are followers. You won’t find a lot of independent thought among them.

You definitely are right.
