Mike Dulak grew up Catholic in Southern California, but by his teen years, he began skipping Mass and driving straight to the shore to play guitar, watch the waves and enjoy the beauty of the morning. “And it felt more spiritual than any time I set foot in a church,” he recalled.
Nothing has changed that view in the ensuing decades.
“Most religions are there to control people and get money from them,” said Dulak, now 76, of Rocheport, Missouri. He also cited sex abuse scandals in Catholic and Southern Baptist churches. “I can’t buy into that,” he said.
The claim that they don’t like organized religion is questionable. I’ve run into a ridiculous number of “atheists” who were completely supportive of religion for some odd reason
maybe because they have their own opinion but aren’t interested in acting like everyone has to share it?
If you are supportive of being religious then the claim that you don’t like organized religion is bullshit. Also, if they think what you said then I have absolutely zero interest in being around that kind of person
I wasn’t aware I cared what kind of people you like to be around
You cared enough to respond
