Any religion that deprives certain groups of power simply for existing as a certain thing is maybe worth a reexamination.
Do you think Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Mormons, Scientologists, etc should question their most sacred doctrines? I assume you think they're incorrect about what they believe, and questioning their faith would open them up to the truth, right?
If you then think that you shouldn't question your faith, isn't that a bit of a double standard? If you've got the truth, after all, it should have greater and clearer explanatory power than anything else, and, therefore, questioning it will only result in understandable, clear answers that strengthen your faith rather than weaken it.
