If I have a soul, I don’t think its value or its savageability depends on me accepting anyone’s religious beliefs. If religion has a purpose, I think it’s to help believers to live their lives. I don’t think it makes anyone more acceptable or worthy. And I also think that wisdom is significant no matter where you find it. If there is more to life than meets the eye, maybe we need supposedly “holy” places and supposedly “sacred” words, images and rituals because our limited perception prevents us from realizing that everything is a revelation.
