I would say, as a person no longer practicing any type of religion but that was also intensively raised catholic, that this is basically my belief system.

I still hold valuable many of the virtues that I learned, partially (not nearly entirely), through being raised as a christian. Like tolerance, empathy/sympathy, being charitable, being patient and kind, etc. But that is also why I drifted away from the religion upon becoming old enough to see that catholicism/christianity doesnt exactly inspire those traits in people in the holistic sense. And then go on to learn how much religion has been used as a tool of control, and a legitimization of a litany of awful things in the world.

They practice those virtues towards one another, but treat the rest of the world as others of varying degrees. Most christian denominations are hardly tolerant of each other, let alone anyone outside that sphere. Hell, a lot of christian denominations are even intolerant of separate sects of their same religion. Obviously from there its easy enough to jump to severely judging other people based on their (a)religion, “lifestyle” aka being LGBTQ, or anything else that dosnt fit within their belief system or (usually very narrow) worldview.

I remember when I was a teenager, a woman approached me on a train platform and asked me for money, and my strongly religious father chided me afterwards for giving her money because she might have just been a scammer. (He is charitable to be fair, but only gives money to formal organizations and the church). That was a big moment for me being like, how is that practicing real charity to refuse someone in that situation if you can help them? People say the same about “what if they buy drugs with it?” Ethically, I have always believed that removing agency from the person asking you for money, by refusing out of that type of belief, is not very “christian” in the sense of its virtues.

What if the person genuinely needs it, but you refuse because you think they dont, or that theyll use it negatively, and then they suffer further hardship? Giving without expectation is charitable, and giving the person agency to make the right choice is patience and tolerance. But christianity doesnt necessarily align with that concept, despite the fact that I cant imagine jesus being like “That homeless guy might buy alcohol, I shouldnt give him the $5 he asked for”
