      I would say truly it is a worry for me too, yep. In my travels I have also met a lot of folks who have no exposure to religion

      so then it comes to the question "are they all going to Hell too?" Yep its a hard question to answer.

      This is where I would say all people have crazy beliefs that are founded in faith. e.g. internationalist, communists, anarchist

      But, I am really talking abt faith in the sense of believing 'in' things without evidence.

      Then can I honestly ask, is there any philosophy or ideology that you take on faith? Human rights for example? That is a faith.

      Not what I mean by faith. Its a value system I argue for. They exist in some places and not in others.

      There's no point in believing in them where they don't exist or disbelieving in them where they do.

      But just because some places have equality under the law for citizens, does that mean that it is a universal truth?

      I teach a lot of Europeans and I would say most believe in their souls that it is true. Which is a hell of a conviction.

      I'm still not convinced they're making a factual claim rather than a commitment to an ethical principle.

      Black & white ppl all have the same organs = factual claim. Black & white ppl shld be treated equally = principle.

          Yep. Again I am a huge fan of that principle. I think principles are articles of faith. Some systems see people = resources.

          Then you are talking abt faith in a different sense. I am only critical of believing *in* things without evidence.

          I totally support your critique tbh. We should all be critical in things we cannot prove.

          My defense of belief structures (religions and ideologies) would be an argument of outcomes. What is produced by these systems?

          If Christianity or feminism produced the most peaceful societies ever, this would be able to be stated.

          The individual claims made by them 'we can survive the deaths of our brains' 'Gender differences are cultural constructs'

          would not be proven by their good influence. Those claims could still well be false.

          Yep. And I totally accept someone saying both of them are equally bullshit. Again, I admit there is no proof. For either.
