Sure- I think the broader principal outside of religion and God is that I don't like it when people try to expose the "hidden" motives of others. Motives are complex and subtle things, often not understood by the person taking the actions in the first place.

I'm fine at "I don't think about God or religion", full stop. Trying to explain to you WHY you are that way seems futile at best and arrogant at worst.

I feel this way about politics as well- who knows what is really going on inside the individual attempting to garner our support? But we can look at the results of their actions and judge whether or not they are doing things we can get behind.
