    I think I can agree with that. They may not like what the church has to say about LGBT+ people, but they also don’t actively fight for their rights either.

    I do have a gay cousin though and they all love him, but yeah how they act within their own family doesn’t change how society at large deals with those issues.

    I’d absofuckinglutley love to see religion eventually go by the wayside, too much pain and suffer caused by it, but to “forcefully” remove someone from within it can also be really damaging to that individual who may not be hurting anyone. I don’t really know what the answer is there though. Hopefully in time we move away from these magical stories. :/

      The solution isnt shallow stripping if shit or reeducation camps that basically amount to bullying, but actually fixing the core problems. I know I tend to talk about a lot of American atheists as ‘Christianity as directed by Christopher Nolan’; all the explicit magic and camp stripped out, but otherwise the exact same ways of thinking they were raised with.

      But the most anyone can do anything here is halfway, so…
