Its a red flag when people won't do that.
Most people just dont care about religion or non religion. That would be weird for me, I am obsessed with it.

And that is the starting point. Be as honest as we can when describing the imagine we are looking at while we are brushing our teeth.

I thought you had one tooth in the front, along with one eye.

Did you get into a fight or something?

@OP, can you define what 'fair' is?

Illustrative example:

I have 3 children who are triplets and share a birthday. I have $100 to split between them for their birthday. After thinking over how to distribute the money, I end up giving one of them $5, another $10, and the other $85.

Is this fair? Why or why not?

I'm not the OP, but doesn't seem fair to me...

Is this a trick question?

Adjective. fair, just, equitable, impartial, unbiased, dispassionate, objective mean free from favor toward either or any side. fair implies a proper balance of conflicting interests. a fair decision just implies an exact following of a standard of what is right and proper...

So in my example, is the decision 'unfair' because the outcomes were different, or is it 'fair' because the same thought process and heart to bless my children was the same for all three, even though they didn't receive the same amount?

Or a third option?

The monetary value is not always the proper measure of value to the recipient. The satisfaction value to each recipient of whatever was purchased is the basis for determining equitable distribution.
