Religion died the day they invented the scientific method.
Someone forgot to tell that to religions.
Ahh they are withering a slow and painfull death not our problem.
I would very much disagree. They are our problem and we should put them out of their misery.
I never hid my contempt for most organized religions as systems of oppression throughout human history. At the same time I respect peoples individual spirituality, as long as they don’t force it on others.
Keep up with the conversation. I was referring to organized religion as a construct not people.
Any system of power is seen as oppression by those who dont beleive as long as people can choose their flavour of oppression we should be fine.
There are differences between for example a mostly secular democratic country and a theological authoritarian regime.
