I hold equal disdain for all Abrahamic Religions.
They are a plague.
Why limit your disdain to abrahamic religions?
How many wars do you hear the Zoroastrians committing?
Pastafarians too.
And weirdly enough Jehovah's witnesses.
Why have disdain for someone wanting to believe in a story? Lots of people do lots of worse lies to themselves.
Tbh I never heard of them at all.
I feel like that's more of a political group cosplaying as a religion for legal reasons and social commentary.
They are litterally christians.
I don't have disdain for that. My problem with organized religion is that it gives an easy in for maipulators. And naturally defining an arbitrary dividion into an 'in-group' and non-believers leading to conflicts.
And (what the main point of my original comment was) this is not limited to abrahamic religions:
Once a fringe Indian ideology, Hindu nationalism is now mainstream (La times)
How Buddhist Nationalism Defines Myanmar’s Politics (The Yale review of international studies)
I remember some kid in elementary school once said to me "I'm not racist because I hate all races equally!"
He thought he was super clever to come up with that.
Being well is not a type of disease
Ok... And? The meme is talking about antisemitism not anti-religiosity
This is brain dead thinking that ignores attorcities committed by both secular and atheistic regimes such as:
Stalin and USSR Maoist China Colonial states (France as one example)
And it's all bad. But I was raised in the Evangelical Church. I read the bibble cover to cover 4 times before I was 15. Was on track to become a preacher. It was the hypocrisy of the church and the people in it that made me into the merrily militant atheist I am today.
Go argue 20th century geopolitical body counts with some poli-sci major. We're shitting on organized religion right now.
