I have a real problem with the hypocrisy of organized religion, as well. I do still hold my belief in God, but you know what, that's MY belief, MY faith, and I am certainly not going to force said beliefs on anyone or berate them for being or believing differently than me.
Amen a thousand times over. Actually, in the Christian faith, that's the whole point of the Cross - we no longer need a High Priest to intercede for us with God, at least, not a human one. Jesus took over that role, and through him, a believer has access to the very throne of God. It's meant to be a personal, one-on-one relationship.
I seriously wonder about people who say others aren't believers, that there's no way they can be Christians. Only God knows which hearts are His, and they're not him. I got fed up with organized religion long ago; I miss Church sometimes for the fellowship, but that's a condition easily cured just by going back to the average church for a single Sunday and then I remember WHY I stopped going in the first place. ::snerk::
I don't believe in what passes for 'witnessing' these days. I'll tell people what I know when they ask questions, and that's that. What answers they find are up to them.
