The Insecure use Religion to Make Themselves Big
Since they feel so powerless and inadequate in their own lives, they make themselves feel powerful and superior by using religion to put others down.

That is projection and reflection. I figured out a long time ago that if you want to know how someone really feels about themself, check out how they make ME feel in their presence. People project their own self-esteem onto others and get something out of the "reflection" back, which is my response to how they make me feel.

on edit: I need to develop the habit of PROOFREADING before I post!

I agree totally with your observation.
