Science is rooted in reality. Some religion can be good, but it does not share equal footing with science, which can be proved or disproved and helps us further our knowledge of how the universe works. Plus, the fact that every religion contradicts the other should tell you something. Here is a quote I heard from a friend:
"Just as masturbation satisfies the drive to reproduce without actually reproducing, religion satisfies the drive to understand without actually understanding."
It's hard to explain. But I value science and separation of church and state more than spreading religion. I still believe in God and I try to be a good person, but perhaps I am a bad Christian.
Is it better to be devoutly religious or devoutly scientific?

Perfect use of the quote well played.
Why do you even identify as Christian?

Are you a Christian?

Yea.
I think as long as you make the distinction between religion and faith no harm is done.
It might do you some good to find others like yourself. Not all churches are batshit crazy or hateful.

Maybe I will. I haven't been to any church in years. I live in a rural area so the churches around here are pretty crazy lol.

You'd be surprised.
Yeah I have a friend who's Christian and she's lovely, sane and never tries to brainwash you unlike all the others I've ever met in my life.
Why not just believe in God and abandon the belief in religion?

I sort of have done that. Just not entirely. I guess I'll figure it out eventually :)
