    I don’t think whether people are religious or secular is a relevant metric for people, animals, or the planet. Shitty people exist in both groups and will be shitty regardless.

      well, one path is based on reason and logic. the other is based on fairy tales. which path is more likely to produce the best result?

        Anti - vaxxers are based on fairy tales but claim to be based on reason and logic. Religion is not the problem, education is.

          well good luck legislating effective education within the context of a christian nation.

            Man you give up quick when the effective solution isn’t attacking religion. Makes me suspect that your actual motivation may not be ending bigotry, but rather furthering your own bigotry. (Shocking, I know)

              didn’t give up. i just don’t think you were arguing in good faith. what reason do you have to defend religion?

                If someone argued that the way to stop bigotry was to make sure everyone was vaccinated I’d argue against that too, because it’s irrelevant to what is happening and won’t fix it.

                  incorrect.

                    Well according to this study: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-secular-life/201807/religion-secularism-and-xenophobia

                    23% of the population doesn’t need religion to be bigots, so eliminating all religion still leaves 1 in 4 people in America a bigot.
