you're right.

I just don't see the need to criticize someones "ignorance"....if to them, it's "faith".

There's no "truth". We are all humans and we have the ability to think for ourselves.
I was raised catholic and after "confirmation", I went my own way. I still wear the cross but because it's positive energy. Not because I think he died for my sins.

My grandmother is one of the most religous people I know and it's "blind".
But she's ALL positive and bring positivity and for me, that's GREAT.

so not only live and let live but who are we to tell someone they are wrong?
