It's nonsensical. I've had people telling me that I'm generally "wrong" in my attitude, and yet when you look to find what's "right", it's based on fairy stories.
I don't know what others find "wrong with your attitude" so I can't speak to that.
The only thing I find "wrong" in what you do is when you're ongoingly rude.
Beyond that, as you said, your search for truth and figuring out how things work is you looking to find what's "right"

People misinterpreting belief systems enough to be fanatical and people being incongruent with spiritual principles associated with religions (and the way they impact politics and social values) is a huge part of what's responsible for most issues in today's society.
That's not the same as having or adhering to spiritual or religious beliefs.

In most cases, as discussed in depth here recently, a lot of psychological disorders are caused by people not fitting in to a society built on centuries of superstitious bollocks and ignorance.
Yet, you "fit in" that society "built on centuries of superstitous bullocks" and I may not.
As you've already said, people are reward driven, so if people don't find reward in their attempts, they'll find alternatives that do.
The value in this website is definitely not "in people being told that they're wrong for being who they are" or in rudeness.
The value would be in things like the exploration of ideas, the abstract degree of fellowship that comes with it, etc. - same if inspiration follows as a result
