I honestly and with no bias have to disagree. I don't think anybodies motive is to "gain trust". I think it's just religious people doing what religious people do. Display their religion and share it with each other.
I don't have a problem with that and I'm not sure why anybody else would.
Or are you saying that those displaying their religion are FALSELY and HIPOCRITICALLY displaying their religion as a trick to gain (whose) trust?
I'm honestly not completely understanding your argument. With all due respect.
What did they put out of value? Name one thing. That’s what matters.
