Edgelord atheist mad at christianity and islam: "every religion is genocide and hate, and I hate them."

Buddhists , jains, pagans, etc: "hey excuse you buddy."

I mean, Buddhists just did a genocide in Myanmar. They have a cleaner track record than Abrahamic faiths for sure, but if you spend serious time in actual Buddhist places it fills the exact same societal roles.

Neopaganism is a bit of an odd one out in that list, because it's a newly invented thing.

I usually limit my ire to Abrahamic religions (though Buddhism's track record isn't completely clean).

I don't know enough about the history of Jainism to say one way or another, though given what I know about it (ALL life is sacred), i imagine they're probably the closest an organized religion can get to being unharmful.

Baha'is would as well, but nobody ever remembers them. The one time I saw a question about TBF on Jeopardy, it was the Final Jeopardy question, and no one got it right.
