We all have a personal religious sense, even us atheists. It shapes our morals. I am not a believer at all but I think that my Christian upbringing has played a role in shaping my moral sense.

But I also recall a moment in Catholic catechism when the Monsignor came to visit and the nun teaching the class knelt to kiss his ring.

Even as an eight-year-old kid, that bothered me and I thought, β€œThis is not what we do in America!”. That was the time of Civil Rights and Equal Rights and those also shaped my sense of right and wrong.

But when you start talking about religious institutions, then you are starting to talk about political entities. That is a whole other matter, they should be kept as far away from politics as possible.
