funny i always felt just the opposite. that it was easier not to demand an explanation. i always viewed it as the weaker choice.
It has always seemed to me that religion and faith were for those that needed a security blanket. “hey if I screw up this time around, there’s a second chance in the afterlife” or “if I’m really good, I’ll get to go to heaven” not “I’ll be a good human cuz that’s just the right thing to do”
Seems like it’s harder to make the tough choices if there’s no carrot out there for you or no threat of eternal damnation. I respect those that can make the tough choice b/c it’s the right choice w/o having religious beliefs acting as a carrot or a stick
