    Religion. All of them are cults. Every single fucking one.

    Nothing. No other hobby even comes close to the death, genocide, rape, murder, and hate generated by that type of religious cult. It’s every single year, too. Every single year religion tops its hate, greed, and pain inflicted on everyone.

      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.

        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.

        I’m pretty sure that religion was mostly used as a kind of motivational tool for the masses, but without religion there probably would have been another excuse why the enemy needs to die

        It’s always about resources and shit anyway

        Yeah seriously. It’s pretty severely missed the point of this thread.

        Ironic that it looks like someone came through and downvotes every answer in this thread other than this one, considering. It’d be pretty great if the mods banned whoever that was.
