good way to put it — yeah, not implying you were making the point that church = good. Just using your example to show that no matter what = good, it will be not only be inadequate, but the very act of trying to achieve that false sense will also be projected onto others and cause people to persecute them, i.e., be evil.  

 I heard Megyn Kelly say something along the lines about how church makes more sense to her now because the act of sitting/standing/kneeling with a whole bunch of other people is a reminder that we are a collective, and no one is "special".

but then i also see the importance in having mavericks and black sheep.
