Ceding your concept of morality to a book someone wrote thousands of years ago is the pinnacle act of moral apathy. That level of apathy is revealed in the way you make your argument: Others' way(s) of life can't possible be moral because they're doing things differently... revealing a lazy mind incapable of compassion and unable to comprehend the values of others.

Seriously, take a look at what you wrote and think about the implications of painting people involved in Not Your Preferred Religion as "naive followers" with "amoral apathy" that are lured into "actual worship"... which sounds a lot like how certain popular religious organizations slip into the philosophies of others who were better off without them, not that I'd name names. It'd be difficult, anyway, as the hypocrisy is usually thick with individuals who engage in these sorts of mental gymnastics.

It's super common when TST gets involved, and it's always amusing to watch.
