@MisuseCase @mekkaokereke @tob @wendinoakland I am agnostic, and my stance is that I don't particularly care _how_ they justify their actions, only what they actually do.
Shitty people will always find a rationalization. But some religious groups - such as White Evangelicism - seem to attract a particularly large number of shitty people, and that's worth looking at. However, that does not mean that _all_ Christian groups are like that.
And the same approach should be taken with all the other major religions of this world. In the end, most of them boil down to advice on how to navigate this confusing world we find yourself in, and much of this advice is centuries out of date. How to adapt this to the modern world is a question for believers, but I only have a problem with that if they use it as an excuse to harass and oppress others.
