What a strange point of view. Of course you have to understand it. If you didn't know what it was you'd be just following someone else's lead if you said it was wrong. As I expect you do know what it is, you quite obviously understand it.

I didn't say you have to understand why people engage in it!

It's only when you understand something that you have the right to say it's wrong.

What it means is that you listen and understand. You don't hate. I don't believe in a higher power, and I am uncomfortable with organised religion. However, I don't hate those things. More so, I feel sorry for those who do believe in them.

All religions act the way Christianity does. You can tarnish them all with the same brush.
