Would you say "I just can't stand the BS and hypocrisy put out" by the civil rights movement because its preeminent leader, Martin Luther King, was a hypocrite in his personal life? That's not what I was saying. Its not just that many of the leaders of religion are hypocritical but their participants are as well. Why do you think so many rational thinking adults are turned off by organized religion? And how was MLK hypocritical? An example of the perfect being the enemy of the good and the folly of obsessing on human failings and hypocrisies. I never said I was perfect nor am I critical of the human failings of the religious. What pisses me off is that they have the audacity to be critical of the rest of us when their own house is not in order. If they want to go to church every Sunday, so be it but leave the rest of us to express our spiritualism in our own way.
