Thread Name: BS: Religion, which is the best one?
Subject: RE: BS: Religion, which is the best one?
Thanks, Pete, the last post seems clear enough to me. I have a few curious supplementary (and related) questions, as the area interests me personally.

So, lets say a person leaves a church organization, would they retain the residual level of honesty (or some portion of it) from the association? Or, would it kinda evaporate with the lapse in the association?

What if they still retained a religious belief (we can use Christian for this example), but decided they did not wish to be associated with an organized religion. Would they retain the level of honesty obtained by their association with the organization?

Additionally, does it matter what the organized religion is (or, what Deity-God is involved), as it relates to honesty (such as Christian, Islam, Buddhism (maybe technically not a religion), Hinduism, Latter Day Saints, Judaism, Confucianism, Jehovah's Witness,Shintoism, Bahá'í, Sikhism ). Or, is this honesty more closely associated with one or more religions?
