Stop giving religious people a free pass
Religious people are not “enlightened” for saying something that would otherwise constitute basic human decency.
Religious people are not extra kind and good because they choose not to discriminate against people of other religions, races, gender identities/expressions, sexual orientations, socio-economic class, nationality, or anything else.
Religious people do not deserve to be praised for paying lip service to progressive values. Especially when they turn around and give money to organizations who work to destroy the rights and freedoms and lives of others.
Religious people are not immune from criticism of their views just because they believe their views to be sacred. A teaching that entitles it’s practitioners to hurt others is an evil teaching. End of discussion.
Stop giving religious people a free pass. A smiling face hides a lie better than an angry one.
GOOD PEOPLE ARE GOOD BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO BE GOOD TO OTHERS, not because their “god” tells them to be.
