you can have a great time with a person and feel very close. and then you begin to discuss your beliefs and values and you can experience a serious disconnect.
clarification of terms:
"beliefs" and "values" are neutral terms used in the field of psychology.
in religion, these are known as "faith" and "morals".
in science, they are known as "theories" and "ethics". an unconfined theory is a "thesis". theories can be disproven by new evidence.
neither science nor religion has something called truth or fact. these are not terms used by academic or religious scholars.
both science and religion accept the idea of evidence and that beliefs can be formed around such evidence.
