<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

I was raised religious, but I am no longer practicing. I do, however, consider myself spiritual. I find it fascinating how differently religion can be experienced from person to person, even if they are practicing the same religion. I often see cases or hear comments along the lines of "Don't assume that all members of _______ religion are this way."

Therefore, I am curious to hear from individuals of all kinds of different religions or denominations a disclaimer of sorts on what they feel are misunderstandings/misconceptions/stereotypes, etc. that are often applied to anyone of your religious faith as a whole that does not necessarily line up with your beliefs or how you practice your religion. Try to stay away from something generic and obvious if possible, but if it has had a profound affect on how you've been treated before (in either a positive or negative way) because of your religion, I'd love to hear it. 

I know this will likely lead to some controversy and I don't mean any disrespect in any way by asking this question - I simply am intrigued by different religions and how so much discord can arise among them even when on the surface it appears they all have a general message or foundation of trying to make others good people.
<bot>: What is something non-believers often understand to be true about your religion that does not fit in with your experience of practicing it?
