you dont need to be a "believer" to have interest in your culture and history. what we are in the west, our philosophy our way to see the world has been shaped directly from the ideas of people like Plato, Socrates and Paul.

Or perhaps interested in history of religion?

Yeah could be. Their overall story seems interesting. Just curious to know more of the “why” behind the effort.

and civilization

Not sure why I’m being downvoted. Asking why someone wrote something is a basic skill everyone is taught in primary school.

I would just say it’s really none of your business. Let the project speak for itself.

dont want to be rude, but your question shows how narrow your vision of the world is.

let me tell you something, when you ask: "What motivated you to make this? It’s not entirely clear to me from looking over more of your site. Seems like a lot of effort unless you and your family are believers."

you are projecting yourself into other person. that is the opposite of empathy. for YOU is a lot of effort. for YOU is only valuable for "believers" (whatever that even means) for YOU also includes family believers....

dont you see? if you dont, no problem i understand. i just wanted to explain to you why are you downvoted, that's all.

I’ll be honest, I don’t understand much of what you’re trying to get across here. I don’t even know how empathy figures into it.

You could just let the OP choose to answer for themselves instead of getting offended on their behalf. So far, they’ve chosen not to answer, and that’s fine too.

we know you are being snobbish because you don't like christianity.

I’m not sure who you are replying to exactly but I assure you I like Christianity very much

the rhetorical question seemed condescending to me.

downvoted because I was wrong, or because you don't like people pointing out the obvious?
