Where do you think this anger is coming from? Is it because you feel some religions have set rules, therefore excluding some people? Do you believe in God, but just prefer not to be bound by the religious group itself? I was raised a particular religion but struggle accepting some things and as a result, I really don't feel I belong to one particular group, but I do believe in God and try to be a good person. All we can do is be responsible for ourselves and we have to accept there are many different beliefs in the world and they may conflict with your beliefs. You could agree to disagree - maybe that would help. This is a very interesting topic - do you think the anger comes from not feeling accepted by certain groups? Some say fear is behind anger and one should ask themselves - what am I afraid of? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm very curious why people become angry about religion too sometimes. I have, several times become defensive when I feel one group is judging the other and I'm working on that issue myself, so I'll be observing this thread hoping to learn from it.
