In reply to the discussion: So can we trash religion on DU, NOW??? [View all]JT45242
(2,268 posts)6. It is not ALL religions -- hell not even all Catholics -- this is the work of the Federalist Society
and the small reactionary branches of the Catholic church that like pedophile priests and rapist judges like kavanaugh.
If it were all religions -- then we would see those public funds going to Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist schools.
Nope this is all about a handful of racist and homophobic denominations -- Baptists, the soon to be split in pieces Methodists, and the branch of the Catholic church that should have been squashed a long time ago. Plus the megachurch franchises that are just a giant grift.
People who actually live by the tenants of their faith -- whther they be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, etc believe in helping the poor and oppressed, the stranger, etc.
These are racists using their religion as a weapon.

Often very true. I suggest that religious people are highly vulnerable to certain types of "stuff"

Religious fanatics of many ills carry the ball and spew oppressive horseshit from their pulpits.
