That's one of the joys of being in a sorority, being around different people that you can still get along with and respect, no one wants to be in a sorority or world full of clones.

And that's all fine. I get that this was ultimately what you were trying to say, but what you actually said was why multiple people jumped on you.
I mean, think about the people in your chapter who don't believe in God and if they had heard you say something similar. Wouldn't they feel like they were somehow wrong for being a member? (Or that you thought them such?) Just because you don't know who they are, doesn't mean they aren't present and hurt by those assumptions, nor that they don't deserve true respect, not just tolerance-as-long-as-they-don't-speak-up.
And this is true of all of our GLOs that openly accept members of all creeds or none.
