    I don't really understand why this is such a terrible thing.

Honestly, its more of a "you had to be there" thing. The problem with churches is that you get into building dogmas that cannot be challenged, holy books of faith and unquestionable prophets. I started to get a real weird vibe about this time where they did not want us to worship god anymore, but we have this stuff over here to bow towards instead. Myself and a few others in the friend circle who grew up in very religious families all had the same shudder when they started getting prominent.

It's ancient history now, but in the wake of that era, there are millions of people out there without a faith or religion who now know they are not crazy, they are not alone and that there are places to go and talk. That is the most important thing in all of this.
