    And every “nice” person who indulges in religion directly enables him. We should be relying on evidence to guide our choices, not magical thinking.

    Which ideology/belief do you think he would use if religion was not an option?

      I’m increasingly agreeing with this take, especially when donations as involved or where support by way of affiliation gives cultural power from sheer numbers. If you don’t really agree with what religious officals say, why stay?

      I dunno, trans people seems to be pretty fucking popular, and doesn’t stem from religion. Before them it was immigrants…

      These people have been conned, just because it was done from a religious end, doesn’t mean if we got rid of religion, people would suddenly be rational. There’s absolutely no evidence to support that thought. (Cite me if I’m wrong).

      Your blaming the method, not the people.
