I am Catholic but have many many Jewish friends. I am not an atheist by any stretch,

Good Catholics are never atheists

I went to Catholic high school and college. I consider myself a moral person, but have left the "church" for many reasons.

I have found that religions are no different that political parties, only with far more deadly and harmful consequences.
Just look at history. Mankind, in the name of religion and God, has killed and maimed so many people.
