Same for me. I think Wright's congregation gave him a spiritual home  
that he felt he lacked. He comes from a background of traditional  
religion (grandparents on mother's side), agnostic/open-minded on his  
mother's part, casual about religion on his father and step-father's  
side. Like many, I think he was caught in the "we've got the answers"  
charisma of Wright, maybe others.

I have a mother and good friends who are very religious and I have  
friends who are non-religious. I don't really care much about whether  
someone goes to a church or professes to believe this or that. I do  
care about how they treat people. Don't tell me; show me. Show what  
you believe by how you live and treat people and judge or not judge  
people.
