I was once told that any person who tried to make another feel bad about themselves was anti Christ because it is so opposite to every single thing he stood for. I have never even once in my whole entire life been made to feel anything less than divine by my religion. In fact we are constantly reminded of our divine inherant potential.
If you think about your spirit who do you think you are? Is your spirit happy and lively, or solemn and sad? I think everyone's spirit is their light side, it's the physical part that tends to drag us down. Try to separate your physical from your spiritual self, and then try to comune with God through your spirit. After all, religion is about God, not man. What's that scripture that says something about "Let not man put us under"?
