Awareness does not equal understanding. We are miscommunicating because I am an easily triggerable, religiously traumatized, former fire and brimstone fundamentalist running on 10 hours of sleep across the last four days and you, well you said it yourself. I believe in people too. In their capacity to do whatever hurts least or pleasures most. I don't have any questions to ask you. If I thought you might have a new idea, theologically speaking, I might ask, but you haven't said anything that indicates that. I'm not well aware of the negative effects that religious beliefs can hold on individuals, families, and societies.
I believe in people.
