I didn't think I would need to spell it out to you but I don't mind.
If *your* views and consequent actions "don't necessarily represent those of
my[your] employer,
municipality, nation or race", then neither do the views and consequent
actions of individual persons (or even groups of persons) professing
adherence to a particular religion necessarily represent that religion or
the majority of it's followers.
IOW, you can go about making statements like "that's why (abrahamic)
religions are fundamentally evil.", based on the hideous acts of some group
of people professing to be of that faith.
But you'd be wrong.
Those persons likely are not representative of that faith, in the same
manner that many religions are not representative of the God they profess to
worship.

my views are my personal and don't necessarily represent those of my
employer,
municipality, nation or race.
here, need more fine print?
i am still blanking what does this have to do with the OT-topic.
