My doctor had christan nationalist propaganda in the examination room.

Note how there is a piece highlighted on the cover against Notre Dame, a Catholic university. It isn’t simply being Christian that these people want.

No shit.

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all worship the same God, and often respect each other’s important figures as at least prophets.

If one of the three ever “won” and replaced the other two, the very next act would be going after a minor branch of their own religion.

The details they squabble over are already super minor, and basically come down to speaking different languages.

It doesn’t have anything to do with religion, it’s the power structure and people abusing others faith to convince them to do horrible shit.

It has everything to do with religion. without these made up stories, not a single justification would be left for all the shit these people have done over the years. zero.

If it wasn’t religion, they’d exploit something else.

You still think the people in charge of these movements actually give a fuck about the movement.

They’re just looking for a way to manipulate people. Religion might be the most common right now, but there’s other options that work just as well.

not a single justification would be left for all the shit these people have done over the years.

Do you not know what racism is?

The justification doesn’t matter because it’s always bullshit. Getting rid of the justification doesn’t solve the problem, it just replaced it with a different justification.

What you’re advocating for is perpetual whack a mole that doesn’t solve anything.

If it wasn’t religion, they’d exploit something else.

It’s gonna be harder to exploit something that is not based on anything other than “trust me bro”. Exploit what? Science? Fine. Reason? Ok.

Religion is THE tool for exploitation. You can lie to yourself, and that’s what you’ve been trained for (Yes, I assume you are at least somewhat religious. Only religious people defend religion).

Do you not know what racism is?

I do. And its origins are deeply rooted in religion. Lots of litterature about that.

So I’m not saying it’s a magical bullet. But if we stop teaching people shit like “faith”, we may have fucking chance of making it. Religions are not defendable anymore, it’s a cancer, and it must be abolished.

I do not respect religion.

Just so you’re aware, most of the Nazi ideology is based in a form of science and reason, yet it spread hate like nothing else. Eugenics is a way to use science to to fuel hate towards people for whatever characteristics you choose. Science is not immune to this abuse. Sure, it’s not as common as religion, but it’s something we will always have to look out for. Don’t think you’re immune because you don’t follow a religion. That’s how you end up believing this other shit that tells you you’re better than others.
eugenics is not science. it’s trash. pretending you do science to impose religious thinking on people is not science. It’s religion however you call it.
