This is what my religious family believed in, back in the Fifties. They had high ideals (in their opinion) and they expected everyone else to give them a superior status because of them.
Other people did not have to look very hard, to see what their ideals really amounted to - but were too polite to say anything.
In fact, my family did not bother with what everyone else believed, or did not believe. They knew they were superior - and they had a great future ahead of them. And never noticed, when their future never happened.
When I went to the U of Illinois, I realized how foolish this was. But I was the only one in my extended family, of about 100 people, who realized this.
