CIRCLE V: That's what religion is for me, too. That's why I chose to become Agnostic after 3 bad experiences with it. I don't need some alleged "higher power" to make me responsible for my own behaviour & its consequences. Because of fear of the unknown, bigots cling to & use religion as their rationale for their scornful behaviour towards people who don't worship their "higher power" like them, have the same beliefs or look like them. The same could be said for armed extremists/fanatics [especially the Protestant & Catholic "pro-life" types who shoot at doctors & bomb their abortion clinics].
