When I was a wee lass -- o.k., when I was a fresh(wo)man in college -- I ran a ... lecture series on comparative religion. Except for the first session, all the speakers were students who spoke about how their faith affected their daily lives. The faiths spoken about included Unitarianism and Wicca.
One of the questions I ask people speaking passionately about their own religious belief is: "Which do you think is more important -- identifying as ___________, or behaving in a way consistent with the tenants of ___________?" I have trouble respecting the I.D. answer.

Again, thank you for the reminder.
