No, you're wrong (as usual). I have to class myself as a "religionist" since I am a Buddhist.

Those who some Atheist believe hold a higher and more moral ground?

There is the saying that it is better to give than to receive. But receiving can be difficult. I feel like it is easier to give than to receive in so many aspects.

I am thinking what would qualify. I think forgiveness is easier to give than to receive.

That is an aspect of it. Joseph forgave his brothers and yet after Jacob/Israel died, it was revealed that they didn't fully receive it. And Joseph had to reassure them.

That seemed clear in this thread.

Typically? Apart from this thread, I know only one person who uses that word. It is true they use it as a term of derision, but one person using it is not 'typical'.

I don't know that you can say which is more important.

Presumably, a person's beliefs directly shape the way that person acts.
