As someone on the outside looking in, as it were, I feel that way about all religions.

Are you just talking about your feelings or are you referring to some sort of rational scheme of knowledge? If the latter, then how in the world could your finite and subjective brain chemistry possibly serve as the criterion for competently assessing everything about anything, as in, all religions?

The former, not the latter. I freely acknowledge that many highly intelligent people find belief in the supernatural rational, but on a personal level I don't understand religious faith. It simply doesn't make any sense to me.

I would point out that most people do in fact reject virtually every religion on Earth...the exception being their own personal faith. I just reject one more than they do. :-)
