1. When you say you dislike religion or spirituality, do you dislike them all or do you dislike a few?
All to varying levels, the less a person's beliefs infringes on the lives of others around them the less I care about it. Want to believe a fairy king lives in your garden so need to look after the space? Go for it. Believe that using birth control is a more grievous sin than stopping the spread of HIV? You are causing damage and should not be in a position of that can create public policy. Believe that apostates should be killed? You need to be stopped. Keep it in your places of worship and homes and don't push it on others and I have no issues whatever your faith is. Unfortunately, that's generally not how religions work, some are just more harmless than others.
2. Is your dislike correlated to experiences? You are allowed to share if you so are willing.
To a point, seeing hypocrisy up close does leave a bad taste, but it's mostly based on free thought as an adult undoing the indoctrination that I was born into. Belief in the supernatural is illogical to me, even more so for the religions on offer and all their inherent contradictions. Religion is divisive, a reason to hate or harm, makes claims that in any other context people could call delusions and too often seeks to push subjective morals onto others as if they were some kind of objective universal rule. If you choose to only see the good in religion you're ignoring things that should not be ignored, if you choose to place all the 'bad' on the human nature of a religions followers, then how righteous is your religion in the first place.
3. Do you dislike true belief or do you merely dislike organized religion?
I dislike using the supernatural to explain things we do not (yet) understand, so both. But the insidiousness of things like systematic rape of children and subsequent covering up of crimes, or killing those who follow the wrong strand of your religion is inherently worse than someone who chooses to strongly believe the earth was created in 7 days a few thousands of years ago even though the latter can lead to poor education and policy outcomes.
4. Do you distinguish religion and spirituality as two different things? i.e. can someone be religious but not very spiritual or spiritual but not very religious?
I view spirituality as your own individual beliefs weather they are specifically religious or not while religion is an organisation that places a higher power aloft. I support the right for individuals to be able to safely follow their own beliefs up until the point it infringes on another's. I do not support the concept that religions (and other ideologies) should be free from criticism or ridicule. Individuals deserve human rights, organisations/ideologies do not.
5. If you could ban religious belief, would you? Why or why not?
Rid the world of, yes, ban without removing the actual belief, no, I'd rather encourage critical thinking. Religion causes unnecessary divides and personally I see it as a hinderance to discovery. The issue is strong ideologies, religion just tends to be one that you're supposed to 'respect' regardless of how illogical you think it is. I put things like fascism and communism into this more harmful for humanity than not category as well it's just much more okay for most to criticise political ideologies (depending on the country you're in in some cases).
6. Do you think a belief in a higher power is damaging? Why or why not?
Not sure I'd say that, I mostly view it as a comfortable answer to death, but the more fervent the believer, the more locked in the 'answers' are. If you 'know' how the universe came to be, what encouragement is there to seek scientific discovery or challenge your preconceptions? I find that sad, things are so much bigger and more amazing than religion tries to contain us within.
I do consider religion as more damaging than not though, especially those who hold believe that there is an end of days looming and what comes after is better than what we currently have. It's one of the main reasons I believe there is still denial of the catastrophic environmental impact we've had on our climate; "let go and let God" climate change can't be real if there is a deity in control of everything and the end of days will make everything better.
8. Do you think people can rationally discuss theological matters?
Don't need to think, it does happen. Strong belief doesn't need to mean you cannot articulate your point of view and counter another's disagreement. It's just not the norm. I enjoy it when it does happen though.
9. Do you believe that another person's religiousness impacts their of quality of character?
No.
10. Are you yourself religious/spiritual/non-religious/etc? (you're welcome to be as specific as you'd like.)
Humanist, atheist.
