But yes, shut up, no one here is going "oh yes hm the man* makes a good point"

No religion can hold power and not become corrupt. Compare Jews in pogroms with the leadership of Israel, for example. That's exactly why secular government is good both for religious and non-religious people.

Oh yeah, Secular Government but allowing people freedom to worship and freedom of speech is the best thing. Faith is more honest if people are allowed to explore and express it themselves, and it stops Governments from becoming corrupt by using claims of divine right too.

It's not just my opinion though. You can see clear voting patterns and clear policies backed by Christians and they are loving terrifying.

Some Christians also back left wing poltics because people are indiviuals. Replace Christian with any other social status and you can see how generalising and silly that is. Do you think all muslims support terrorism? Or all straight people hate gay people? Or all trans people hate cis people? No, because again, people are people and have different opinons and beliefs regardless of what social groups they belong to.

Just some individuals. No major trends here or anything.

Weak man. Who cares about individuals, it's about demographics and as a demographic Christians are loving terrifying.

Demographically speaking, very few Muslims are terrorists. On the other hand, a supermajority of Christians are incredibly reactionary.

Generalising people is pretty silly and also pretty reactionary. If you're not trolling, I suggest going outside and meeting people, broadening your horizons, and stop pigeonholing people.

The problem of tolerance is real. Not tolerating the intolerant is a necessary immune function in a healthy society.

Especially when people try to suck up to an intolerant population. Hillary Clinton trying to appeal to suburban voters by talking about how her personal friend Jesus annointed her as the next president was really bad.

Dude, seriously, drop it.

Either you've got no stake in this - which makes your clinging to it absurd - or you absolutely do, in which case it's probably pretty unhealthy.

It's like, I'm willing to grant that there is this weird segment of fundamentalist Christianity that has a diamond-hard erection for the end of the world so that their Nick Fury Santa Claus can install them in magical Shin Megami mansions while absolutely roasting the poo poo out of everyone that ever looked at them crosseyed, but that segment didn't elect Trump.

They may have voted for him, but they didn't elect him. You gotta accept some way uglier poo poo about human nature than "some people got read a book as a kid" to eat that entire worm in the apple.

Cassandra is making people like me look bad, and that's annoying. I'm atheist too, but tend to be polite when dragged into church functions on special occasions, often discussing aspects of religion that I find interesting even if I don't subscribe to it, like the non-canonical stuff that doesn't make it into the bible.

I at least try to be less of an rear end.

I know it was brought up a page or two back, but I would just like to point out that while they might have come from a Christian denomination or two, Unitarian Universalists are by definition not Christian; it's a creedless religion. You can have Christian, Pagan, atheist, etc UUs.

But yeah there are way too few and they are mostly old white people at this point. Fire and brimstone is unfortunately much more of a draw in this day and age. :(

Unitarians and Unitarian Universalist are two different sects. Unitarians are Christians who reject the trinity, while UU is religion in buffet form.

How many times do you come across one of these "let me contemptuously explain how religion is a toxic death cult" types and just start tuning them out in favor of the high school memories they invoke? "Yeah, I remember being sixteen and thinking people being annoyed by my clumsy edgelord opinions on religion meant I was really making a difference, too."
