No.

If honoring the issue of faith means supporting faith, yes.

Saying you're leery of something isn't being very supportive of it. And opinions can be put-downs, too.
> I don't criticise your wanting to redirect, but wonder about your reasons for doing so. Perhaps you yourself are sensitive about someone else's differing views on Christianity?
Or perhaps my reason is what I said it was?
