Don't you think that is an unfair statement? Most of us inherit the faith of our parents and it literally is our "god given" right to revaluate it, the way it makes sense to us.
You wouldn't say Christians don't swear, divorce, or engage in banking - or drinking for that matter - in this very context.
We have any number of members who inquire about whether an incident calls for compensation; many come here to FlyerTalk to ask, and they get plenty of answers. No different in this thread.
It's quite factual: neither devout members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (who no not smoke or consume caffeine as well) nor devout Muslims (of any branch, Sunni, Shi'a, Sufi, etc.) consume alcohol because their religious beliefs proscribe alcohol. It doesn't matter how they acquired those beliefs.
But this is beginning to go off-topic and move away from the questions posed by the OP.
