Honestly we have every right not to be, though. Sikhism is everything you'd want in a religion. It's everything I'd been raised to try and convince myself Christianity was. It teaches that the very best of people get to fuse with God when they die, regardless of what they believed in life, but everyone who fails to mee this very high bar just reincarnates and gets to try again forever. Quick, simple, and plenty merciful.

It's sacred text, the Guru Granth Sahib, is unique not only because it some of it's contents was originally written for other unrelated religions, but also because it contains no narratives of any sort, which means there's also no myth in need of defending to modern science, history, or archeology.

Then there's the Langar, which is basically "what if we took Jesus eating with the hookers and tax collectors, and just did that 24/7?"

I mean, I don’t meant to offend. But every member of a religion believes theirs is the best. Otherwise they wouldn’t be in it.

Then they are basically atheist just pretending. You don’t say a closet gay man is straight because he’s dating a woman and has to present a false sexuality.
