I understand how you perceive things differently from other ordinary people and you know as well. This is very different from other autistic people. Because often autistic people insist only their world view is correct and that of ordinary people is wrong. As long as you notice your difference you are also a part of ordinary people since ordinary people perceive things differenly among themselves. All perceptions vary depending on each individuals.
Certainly your perception is unique. Just try to adopt similar perception with others, then you can adjust by degrees.
My original question was ' Which do you prefer to live, in reality or in religion? In real world people share common reality with others. So in order to get along with others in reality, you need to share similar reality, not to say exactly the same. That's what we've been doing in our daily life. But in religion you don't have to share similar reality. But you must share only one belief, or faith in other words, that is where religion stands.
If you can share this belief even if you can't share common reality with others, you can succeed in living in religion. So theoretically there's no problem as to your being religious even if you are autistic as long as you have this belief, or faith.
Judging from your original post, you are pessimistic about living both in reality and in religion. Here's your choice. You choose to live in reality by trying to adjust yourself to how other non-autistic people behave, or you choose to live in religious world by accepting only one belief, which no one can verify. Therefore you can believe without hindrance. I have been seeing many renegades who were refused by society in the first place are often accepted warmly in religion later on. But my recommendation for you is that you had better try to promote in your real life first. I think you can succeed. Religion is the last resort for those who lost something in real life.
