Seems like hard-core hate for anyone religious is fine in many circles. Is there a point where it becomes as problematic as other forms of bigotry? Not any specific religion necessarily just the disdain for the religious in general.

      If you consider someone’s religion an opinion I don’t think you’ve ever had a meaningful conversation with a religious person. Which is fine, just gonna lead to a fairly narrow view of the world.

        It’s a belief in something absurd, without a shred of evidence

        It certainly can’t be considered a fact, ergo, it’s opinion

        Reason isn’t your strong suit, huh?

          Just to be clear, I’m an agnostic (likely atheist) liberal democrat, mechanical engineer and consider myself a pragmatic person. I’m trying to understand opinions and consider how they clash with my personal experiences in life so far. I don’t necessarily think religious people are inherently bad or good. Do you have a specific stance on why someone would choose to engage with a religion? Based on other comments, it seems like you think religious people just want a reason to feel superior to others. Would you say thats accurate?
