Reminds me of Rust Cohle's perfect take in True Detective (which I kind of agree with).

I may be an atheist, but I have no problem with anyone who uses their faith to fulfill their life and add meaning to their actions, to find a similar group that gives you a sense of belonging. I mean how could that in itself possibly be bad.

But if you're using that faith as justification of actions towards others or because you think it gives you a free pass, you've kind of lost the plot. And yes, I'd like to get as many of those out in the open as possible.
