10. If what you do has value to at least one other person, then you are providing a needed service.

And you are. There is nothing silly about this. It is dead serious.

When I teach world religions (which includes an overview of paganism and indigenous religions as well as overvews the major religions - I try to be as comprehensive as possible), I invariably have at least one atheist who thinks it is all silly, as is their right. But in my class, they are required to at least be respectful. By the end of class, I've had students thank me for helping them to understand where religion comes from (origins), and why it still exists. They have at least gained understanding and have learned respect. In a diverse, multicultural world, that is an important lesson to learn. We do well to remind ourselves and others of this.

So, anyway, thank you. This is something many of us need, whether we speak up and acknowledge it publicly it not, and you are helping. I most definitely appreciate your efforts. Bless you!
