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.
