Check out Christopher Hitchens on YouTube. You won't be disillusioned any longer.

or are you sympathetic to them , and want them to impose sharia law on you, your community?

It's understandable to question aspects of faith, as it's a deeply personal journey for many.

I'm a believer in God and a higher power for sure.

I find organized religion insidious, with a tendency to oppress and allow freedom from personal accountability.

how do you find this...?

Years ago there were still "snake" churches in the wilds of North Carolina. apparently "handling serpents" was some weird religious ceremony, it was even televised for a time. Then some of the evangelists were just silly, in the early days Pat Robertson would put his hand up on his show and heal you as you placed YOUR hand on the TV screen. Creepy.

Abortion has nothing to do with religion. It only appears that way because most who oppose it are traditional Christian people.
Abortion is evil. Period. And I would oppose it if I was not a believer. Just as many people who are not believers oppose clubbing puppies to death.

That about sums it up.

You haven't heard of the climate cult apparently.

Mandated EVs, no gas ovens, carbon taxes, etc.

Christians are also opposed to murder, rape, robbery, pedophilia, rudeness, hating your neighbor, lying, causing discord, and they like strong biological families, stable communities, peace, etc.

But to the left, those are all bad things because the left is doing everything they can to destroy Christianity here in the US -- as they've done throughout history since the French Revolution.

Leftism itself is a religion (or more accurately a cult) and they will not tolerate any competition.

Christians are opposed to many things non-religious decent people oppose as well. But since "because a book written by some people who said god told them so" is not a sound basis for forming the laws of a society, the issue comes down to creating laws that can be logically justified to uphold some level of philosophical rigor in analysis.
There isn't a single christian that believes every part of the bible should be law- it would be impossible because it contradicts itself. So you end up cherry picking the easy stuff, in which case you've lost the authoritative appeal. Why ignore the silly stuff like saying women shouldn't braid their hair if these were decrees from god.
When a religious person yells abortion is bad a million times and their argument is simply 'because my religion told me it's bad', they have shifted the focus away from the actual issue of abortion and into an issue of is that religion correct. In philosophy, these religious claims try to appeal to some sort of natural law which fails any test of rigorousness. Finding a secular, logical reason why something is bad is the challenge that religious people are just too lazy to bother with. The best they do is claim some sort of monopoly on decent attitudes as if they originated the idea that murdering people is bad. Everyone should be afraid of the people who simply don't kill because a book told them to. I'd rather a society where people don't kill each other out of an understanding of empathy and social contract morality.

GOD is omnipotent, perfect and merciful.

All religions are flawed, most espouse their own teachings inconsistent with GOD's Laws and Jesus' teachings, many are corrupt with a self-serving narrative.

Never EVER confuse GOD with religion, unintelligent haters do this daily.

You do not have to go to a church, temple, mosque, etc... to get to heaven.

Avoid any religion in which offerings are used to enrich the lives of those who tell you that money is unimportant.

Avoid any religion in which the leader is paid a salary greater than they would in a job they may perform well.

Those who lead GOD's children should do so with an understanding of responsibility and humility, not an authoritative ego where they place themselves on a pedestal.

I have met many in religion that have titles, very few of them get it, why, because they do not want to get it, getting it would kill their pride.
