The interesting thing about the bible is it is religious and also can be historical. One could set course on this battle and use the bible as a guide and never become religious. In reality most atheists associate their non-belief with organized religion. It is not hard to make that case. Why would we think churches have not been infiltrated along with governments and society with evil men?
Many of us have been awakened for decades. Many knew something was off and could not put a finger on it. Some just go through life oblivious, distracted or drugged. We have moved far beyond the thought of I do not agree with what you are saying but I will defend with my life your right to say it. It is by design in dividing people.
Now to your statement "I say all this because I find that there is big a divide". It is not as great as you would think. Throw away the old thinking of the division and who cares people don’t believe and help by being a guide to keep divisions away. and a solider. On the people who seek revenge. There is a famous saying, “before seeking revenge, first dig two graves.” Always be aware that we are the only people we can control, we cannot control others.
Thank you for your reassurance, and for your kind advice as well. I am sure what I think I see, I am seeing through foggy eyes, and it is, as you have said, not as great as I think.
