"It’s hard to reconcile my personal beliefs with an entire institution like the Church or the Republicans. Or with people within those political persuasions who have such different ideologies but confess the same things I confess spiritually. I think it’s similarly frustrating for Muslims, (who are) being understood generally by parts of the world as violent fanatic martyrs, whereas the majority of Muslims are actually very interested in being part of society and being peaceful and loving. Oh, man.. It’s the difference between faith and religion."
