i’ll start: most “vote blue no matter who” liberals are actually good people (not including terminally online liberals as anyone who is terminally online is a bad person)

    Religion is often the only remaining space for a shared sense of community and culture, in a world that is increasingly being reduced to crass market relations.

    The USA has a particularly abhorrent strain of Christianity, please don’t judge all of religion for it.

      Christianity is rotten to the core and is fundamentally bigoted, American Christians just take it to its logical conclusion. It has been the justification for so many fucking heinous crimes and a tool for colonialism how the fuck does anyone on this site defend it

      I mean that sincerely, I am genuinely confused as to why defending it seems to be the most popular stance here. I can not understand that

        As a fellow religion hater for the exact same reasons as you, it might help to seek out a different perspective and talk to people from different walks of life. There are plenty of Christian gay/queer people, there are plenty of people who lived under colonialism and neocolonialism that are Christian. They managed to square the circle in a different way to us religion haters, and it’s worth listening to their perspective.
