Spot on!!! I was raised Catholic, but was never a believer beyond the age of seven or eight. The best explanation I’ve ever heard for organized religion and God is “God didn’t create man, man created God to control the masses and to control women”! I would march beside you to protect your right to practice your religion, even though I’m an atheist. All I ask is that you never try to pass laws for the population based on your religious beliefs. I respect everyone’s rights to worship in any way they choose or to not worship at all. Just don’t try to pass laws based on anyone’s individual religious belief! State religion has no place in a Democratic society!

My mother gave premature birth to twins. One was stillborn, the other died shortly after birth. The Church allowed burial in the church cemetery for only the live birth baby who had been immediately baptized. The other was buried outside the fence. Original sin and all that nonsense.

That’s beyond horrible! I wouldn’t have buried either child in that horrible place! I’m so sorry for you and your family…
