the Roman church insisting it was the only way to salvation and its intervention was necessary. Of course, eventually many protestant churches became even more convinced that it's my way or the highway to hell. That's a human thing insisting you have the best, or only valid, idea, not a religious thing, and it gets in the way of a lot of things we do. Religion, having no scientific way of proving or disproving its claims, just happens to be particularly susceptible to our irrational urges.

I became a Quaker years ago because most Quakers refuse to define God, what happens after death, or anything else we have no direct experience of or way to know. There are atheist Quakers, which is kinda odd when you think about it, but the point of Friends is the individual and personal worship of God-- whatever or whoever God may be.
