And this part is: religion was wrong for me because it prevented me* from being able to feel a sense of communion with [all of] humanity.
This seems to sum up one reason why fundamentalist and black Pentecostal Christianity in their various forms are wrong for me at this time of my life. The churches I've attended in those camps really seem to stress the idea that they are somehow better than the rest of humanity, even other Christians, and I can't get with that agenda, anymore. In my current church, the leadership preaches respect for all people and all religions, and I much prefer that message. It matches the convictions of my heart.
