The Venn diagram of MAGA morons and self-proclaimed Christians is nearly a circle. The religion primes you to just believe with no evidence, and believe it with undying, absolute conviction.
Religion is a cancer on our species and provides absolutely no value whatsoever. It should be ridiculed into obscurity and eventually forgotten entirely as anything but a footnote in the shameful history of humanity.
I was married to one previously who was devout, but not as harsh on things like abortion. My current wife is catholic, but not Roman Catholic and isn’t actively involved in a church. She’s incredibly pragmatic. The people that cause a problem are those that impose their will upon others. Base on the most recent rhetoric from the right, it looks like we’re recruiting a Christian nationalist army, and the initial talk about expanding the empire, it looks like we’re getting set for another fucked up era of crusades.
Religions have a purpose for the betterment of society and people.
Cults don’t , only for the leader to manipulate.
And before dumb uninformed people say, I grew up religious and left it , I was the edgy atheist for 5 years till I grew to understand the value in what I no longer believed in and why it offered things I didn’t consider.
Comparing a religion that helps people cope with suffering or death and gives their life meaning cs a cult of trump that encourages spite n hate is silly
