I’d actually argue the opposite. Religion reigns in bad people. Talk to a religious person, wait until you hear them say something like, “but if there’s no god and no afterlife, what’s to stop people from murder and rape?” That’s all that’s holding them back from total anarchy, the threat of eternal suffering and damnation, only for some it’s still not enough.
You’re very good at strawman. I didn’t say communism is atheism. However, you’ll find that many communist regimes were atheistic. I’ll give an example for atheism and secularism.
The USSR had an atheistic regime, which caused a lot of suffering for its people and surrounding countries they took over. They also didn’t like religion and wanted to get rid of it. (history.com/…/joseph-stalin-religion-atheism-ussr)
All the secular colonial states that have taken over other countries. Plus, the issues that continue to this day. Take the middle east for example and the lines drawn on purpose to keep the region destabilized. Or take francophone Africa which to this day suffers from Frances control over the region through dictators.
I don’t deny there was crusades or that there was wars inspired or motivated by religion. I never said anything of sorts in my original comments. You’re only assuming it.
The Golden Gate Bridge is bright red-orange because that’s the most visible color against the blue sea. I’d assume similar colors are used to contrast against the sky. Much like that (creepy by association) teal that’s used for medical accessories, which contrasts with blood.
I can’t say that’s going on with this bouncy ball, but painting things a bright color that contrasts with nature is a thing we do.
For those reading this is like when millennials would just pile every slang and acronym possible into a sentence as an inside joke of sorts. For "gamers" think: "I are 73h 1337 h@xZ0r all ur base r belong to us LMAO XD"
Your social media feed wants you to think that, but the reality is that these protesters are the far right ultra orthodox types that vote for parties that are the furthest right of the governing coalition. Yay for proportional representation where you can form the government by making a coalition with the furthest right parties, right?
Problem is what do we define “peaceful lives”. You and I think it just means being able to go about our daily lives and just that, but Israelis have been drowning in propaganda. It’s like saying “Americans just want peaceful lives right after 9/11/” Sure, but what they think will get them their peaceful lives is an armed invasion and genocide. It was a popular enough view to get Bush reelected.
