I agree. I'm conflicted on the subject (thanks mom and dad). I'm Jewish (barely), my wife is Catholic. I understand why some people feel the need for religion, and if that helps them maintain an even path, then go with it.
I believe in the nature of karma, all things come to a head.
What I despise are people who are good and god fearing in Sunday, and then horrible people the rest of the week.
Kind of like the weekend crack head.
Here, we have the families of murder victims who were hardened criminals, gang members and known to be horrible people going on the news, wailing and gnashing their teeth & saying things like "He was a good boy, a church-going boy. Where were the police? They should have stopped this!". However, with the prevailing local attitude being "Snitches get stitches", I don't know why they would think this.
I have always wondered about the attraction between some Catholics and Jews- I think it may be due to the ingrained guilt. :D
