I just scratch my head when atheists call religious people judgmental--and then proceed to judge them by implying they are stupid for believing what they believe. (I'm not speaking to anyone in here, I just mean my own experiences.)
 I'm with you on that... it amazes me.  Being spiritual doesn't make me stupid.

My husband is Catholic and I attend Mass with him regularly - and not because I have to, it's my choice.  I feel very comfortable there, and like you, I don't see much of anything that's similar to the JWs (I was raised in the Borg).
