          I never hid my contempt for most organized religions as systems of oppression throughout human history. At the same time I respect peoples individual spirituality, as long as they don’t force it on others.

              There are differences between for example a mostly secular democratic country and a theological authoritarian regime.

                  By people realizing they don’t need the construct of organized religion to be spiritual for example.
