I maybe didn't answer your first point clearly enough FF, personal/private faith is fairly self explanatory, you believe, like Binnie said earlier, in jesus and, Ill paraphrase slightly (correct me if Im wrong Binnie), him being your saviour etc and if you don't believe well you can piss off basically. I think thats great, Binnie has his belief, I have mine, and we are fine. Hes not adding, btw, all gays should not marry, blacks are cursed, woman are 2nd class citizens to back up some some skewed politically fantasy. yes, I am throwing together a few religions, but its hard to keep up with all the different prejudices the heads of these religions think are appropriate.
