Exactly, times 1,000. This should be the basis for such a website. Pointing out to people they are the fringe, even in their own churches.

To expand more on your greater points there I want to point you to the following, excellent book;

Written by a monk who basically says: "So what if Jesus is made up, let's just like the story and learn from it". Granted he does assert at points the story is likely true, because of his life-calling and all, but cites so much from differing religions to show it's about universal truths about humans - not about god. The reviews say it's about mysticism, and that's mostly true in a way, but it's got a greater reckoning of differing religious beliefs than I've seen elsewhere. I guess the point is that it's normal for humans to want religion (cue the responses... now!) but that the religion isn't important, the introspection is.

Dogma and theology kill the spiritual mind was what I took away from it. Religion is suffocating the religious by being so dogmatic and cites so many people who left their churches because they felt something, but what they were being taught wasn't what they were feeling.

Disclaimer, I'm not religious, but I think it's good to be well versed in these things
