No such thing was inferred or implied; that's simply you making more unwarrante assuptions sans evidence.

But like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it."

Kindness is the act or the state of being kind, being marked by good and charitable behavior, pleasant disposition, and concern for others.
