I’ll put it this way; would you rather have people cleaning your house that were raised in an environment where religion was embraced or where there was none and they always did whatever they wanted to? Nun or street thug comparison.
That wasn’t my point. My point was that we have a perfectly good word to describe people like me. That word is “religious.” It’s a great word, means pretty much what you’d think, and it can be used whether my religion is Christian, Jewish, Moslem, Hindu, or Wiccan.
If the media style-books have decreed that we need to say “faith-based” instead of “religious,” I suspect a nefarious motive.
