I didn't mean to suggest that there was a causal realationship. This is more about the formation of my own ideas.
Funny thing, I've played in many church bands, myself. As a volunteer, not a paid performer. I got along with people very well, and yes there were some nice ones and some not nice ones, just like everybody else.
I even agreed on and shared many of their values, which are all pretty common sense stuff. The point where I agreed to disagree was that something supernatural was required to enforce the supremacy of these ideas.
I've always thought that good ideas support themselves, and don't need "magic" to bedazzle me into following them.
That's just me. I don't compromise on this, at any point, on any level.
