there are two types of religious people whom i will respect.
Extremely devout Christians. (they often do more good than negative) They'll spend a lot more time reading and practicing religious texts, than yelling about gay people or whatever.
and those who are what i like to refer to as "standing" religious. They identify as religious, but it's primarily for personal reasons. They generally don't practice religion outside of their personal experience in the world.
Suburban Christians are a fucking nightmare.
