I appreciate the words of support.

I can relate to both religious and non-religious people. I think you are right in that the desire for an afterlife is what is at the center of most people's religious beliefs, that is for people who have a heart. I've found, like you, that some very bad people can hide behind the guise of religion in an attempt to justify their hatred. I don't think that is what religion should be about.
