Perhaps you should. I have expressed my opinions and criticed others (yours among them) and supported said opinions and criticisms with logical reasons. You are the one who (falsely, IMO) 'casts' that
as presenting myself
as an 'arbiter' of 'truth'. That is what a reference
as being an 'aspersion'.
From
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/aspersion :
Definition of aspersion -
1a : a false or misleading charge meant to harm someone's reputation casting aspersions on her integrity
b : the act of making such a charge : defamation

That has always resonated with me from a very young age.

I have already called into question and disagreed with your regarding and verbally charactering my challenging questions and expressions of disagreement
as being an 'attack' - which is another one of your 'aspersions',
IMO.
While I consider
all choices by
anyone in
any regard (even anti-Life ones!) to
ipso facto be 'valid', I
do not agree with your claim that
all 'religious' paths are equally 'worthwhile' - you must know of 'ignorant' and 'cultish' ones,
for example (human history is
replete with
many '
such religious' choices) which have been grossly Life-
diminishing.
That something resonated with someone (in this case you) "from a very young age" in
no way provides a
logical 'rationalization' for supporting or maintianing choices in said regard,
IMO.
