        Any institution that requires its members to have “faith” in a given set of entities is always dangerous for a free, civilized world. Religions by definition fall into this set of institutions. The cure for this is making high quality education extremely accessible to everyone around the world. Educational universities are soft power, where qualities like freedom, liberty, democracy etc. can be entrenched in people. Not doing this = allowing dangerous faith based institutions to erode away at these values.

        All religions are shit. However, religion is a tool for those in power to control the masses. The root cause of the fucked up Iranian government is not Islam, it’s power hungry assholes who - thanks to the patriarchate being in place at the time they got to the top, happen to be misogynistic fucktards.

        All religions are not shit. All organized religion is. You don’t ever hear of a Taoist committing these kind of acts.

            What? Taoism has millions of practitioners and since it’s not an organized religion there’s probably millions more that are uncounted, myself included. Also a major part of the belief system is karma so we absolutely believe in standing up to evil in all of its forms because that’s how you reduce suffering and create more good into the world.

              Wow millions. Cool. Do you have a country? Do you have a province? Do you have even a city? Too weak to cause problems doesnt mean good.

              Also a major part of the belief system is karma

              Gotcha. Like every other religion.
