Religion has always held a superior stance, in the past it is because kings and pharaohs dictated law and religion served as a marker for obedience. Leaders would declare themselves gods, or an exclusive group of religiosos would dictate authority. Since the enlightenment period and the revolutionary period secularism has become more widely accepted. Some people still hold a superiority complex when it comes to God issues but I don't agree with that. I have mutual respect for anyone treats me and my beliefs with respect.

Also, the vocabulary is a key note that you pointed out. People often don't realize that they are speaking what I call "Christianese". It really does seem like another language sometimes but I've learned to differentiate between the two.
