Many people in RF holds a belief in one Religion or an other.
Many people in RF do not hold a belief in Religion.
1: Are you sure you understand what Religion really is, and what is needed to be done to gain full effect of the practice ?
2: Or do you think you know what Religion really is about, but do not see the need to practice any of it to know and understand?
In my experience, academic knowledge alone may lead to an understanding of the mechanics of something, but no one truly understands something until they experience it.
A not-so-brief anecdote:
I used to ride to work with my step-father every day in the summertime and on weekends since I was 11. Every truck he had was a Ford F-250 with a four-speed manual stick.
As one that always needs to know how something works, I watched every move and thought I had a thorough understanding of how to drive that truck.
Three years later at the age of 14, I was armed with all the knowledge and understanding of how to drive. After all, I backed my mother's van out of the garage on numerous occasions, so I had this driving thing down pat, right?
After asking my step-father if I could drive, he pulled to truck to the side of the dirt road we lived on, stopped and shut it down. I walked around the back of the truck, and I got behind the wheel confident that I had an understanding of how to drive, fired it up, pushed down the clutch, shifted into 2nd (1st was granny gear), gave it a bit of gas, and instantly killed the engine.
Okay, I didn't give it enough gas. So I fired it back up, pushed down the clutch again, gave it some gas, and shot gravel in every direction sending the back end of the truck out of control. When all was said and done, we were sideways on the road and not running. In a panic, I had slammed on the brake, forgot to depress the clutch, and killed the engine again.
It was then I realized that I had the knowledge to drive the truck, but not the understanding. After several more tries, I got it, but it was experience, not knowledge, that brought me understanding.
