Sorry if I use you to generalize, but I'm going to anyway since you stepped into it.

Everyone tends to view the world through the lens of their own experience, some more than others. Critical thinking demands that we step outside our own worldview and try to gain an understanding of viewpoints different than our own.

So far, I only see you trying to shoehorn every worldview and every person's experience into something that all comes back to God (I presume Jehovah God of the Christian faith), even if it's unbeknownst to that person themselves.

Not only is this smug and arrogant, it seriously hinders your ability to have a discussion on this subject with anyone who doesn't share your faith and already agree with you.

That's right. I try to look at all ideologies through the Christian prism. The Christian worldview is the only one that makes rational sense.
