And yet, you shut down the possibility of religion without any degree of exploration.
I don't need you to be religious. I understand annoyance with the fact that the culture you're in is pushing something you don't agree with (I experience that as well on other topics). What I take issue with is the attitude that religion deserves condescension and vitriol, simply because you don't subscribe to it, or because you find it annoying. I see no recognition that faith and logic aren't mutually exclusive.
Don't have religion - that's fine. But don't pretend to understand (and then trivialize)
any religious tenet, if you're unwilling to fairly explore it.

You're conflating religiousness with dogma. Dogma, by definition, is belief without exploration. Religion, however, invites endless exploration.
