According to Mirriam Webster, to lie is: 1 : to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive 2 : to create a false or misleading impression
So, if a person believe his religion is true, he is not lying. He may be mistaken, but he isn't lying.
I do not believe in organized religion, as a rule. I believe that what Jesus taught, according to the Bible, are good rules to live by. I believe in God, although how I feel about him is closer to a deist philosophy. |
