look at it this way, there is only one Grand Canyon but many different ways to get there, ask many different people how to get there and you`ll get many different directions, some will be dead on, some will be a little off, and some will be way off, and some will be completely clueless, that`s how religions are. all trying to get to the same place, but all choosing different directions.

"demonstrate the significance of those who feel no one gives a damn."
Absolutely, and Amen!
The holding to our insignificance is a dangerous and destructive thing. There's so much energy and anger dedicated towards the holding of religion to be responsible for so much harm, but the results of secular pointlessness is far more widespread, threatens far more and has claimed far more bodies and mind than all the harm of religion combined.

I actually got much of my script from an agnostic friend of mine-like yours above. I added a few more words on the size of the galaxies, the number of stars therein etc. I then come back to our insignificant planet near the outer edge of the Milky Galaxy; and on that insignificant planet Earth there lives a kid named Michael that God is profoundly aware of and cares for.
The point is not to argue the existence of God but to demonstrate the significance of those who feel no one gives a damn.

from part 4...
Lucas: "Oh, I think there is a God."
from part 3...
Lucas: "I asked my mother once, if there's only one God, why are there so many religions? Over the years I've been pondering that question. The conclusion I've come to is that all the religions are true, they just see a different part of the elephant. Religion is basically a container of faith, and faith is the glue that holds society together."
That's the tolerance of and from religions you need to recognize as existing.

"The nerve or people to be thinking that their religion is right"
Religious people are generally no more or no less tolerant of other views than the secular are of other views. In other words, you may as well heap secularists with "thinking they're the one's who are right" and "are simple minded" as much as you are with the religious.
To believe otherwise is the very definition of arrogance and denial.
View my channel for Mythology of Star Wars, if pressed for time part 4 in particular.

And here this planet is with all of our thousands of religions and people think that their religion is right when they forget to think about how insignificant our tiny little planet is when compared to the immensity of the universe. The nerve or people to be thinking that their religion is right when they are nothing compared to the rest of the universe but then again religious people are simple minded.
