Guilt is religion's stock in trade. When people leave the church, that's one of the few hooks to try to get them to come back.

How can one feel "far away" from "someone" (or should I say a trio of "someone") who was never "there" to begin with except within the religious imagination?

Well, even there, he never really "leaves" unless you turn into an atheist. And even then, one is left debating the imaginary thing's existence. So he's never really far away at all, is he?

Personally I think religion needs its faithful doubters, the ones who believe in their god but still question his existance from time to time. These are the people who keep the churches looking sane. The dangerous ones are always the mindless sheep and the deeply disturbed, assuming they don't go hand in hand.
