Sadly, there are too many “religious” people who think they speak for God. I channel the Archangels and share their messages here. They tell me there is no favored religion, and that we’re loved unconditionally. I eventually left Christianity, because it didn’t want to be anywhere or around anyone where all people aren’t not only accepted, but valued. The Angels say any religion that brings you peace, hope, love, and joy and inspires a life of kindness is the right religion for that person. Clearly, people like those you wrote about are not acting out of kindness, and as a former Christian, they’re missing the whole point.

Lastly, the Angels say there are many ways to pray or worship, including walking in nature, meditation, feeling grateful, and being kind to others. So sorry you have religious trauma in your past, and I’m so glad your son got better. Blessings.
