Yup and nope. I'm not religious, or believe in God, but my mum being a nice person has made me respect SOME religious people. I go to church, since the people think I'm religious, since I'm kinda friends/acquainted with the people there.
They never forced religion onto me, but my mum talks about God creating me and I'm like "wat". She's less of a believer now, since she's realised she doesn't understand or accept the logic that some religious people have. My mum's religion is less about God, and more about harmony between people, which I love, but my dad is also part of that and he's probably the only one in my family causing any great conflict.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
