Well I'm religious and I haven't taken anything other then a reasonably friendly approach to you and your belief, so am I one of them? Am I traitor to religion then and not true to what I should be?
I haven't called you any of those names nor desired to. To me there is logic and there is faith and they can only be best described as water and oil but the trick to harmony for me is having faith in whats important to me spiritually and not neglect the logic of the physical world. If I was purely faith based I would walk out in the street in front of a car and say 'I'm going to be fine because God will protect me', that's negligence in the highest degree.
