Church of England’s call for dialogue on gays rebuffed in Africa

98. I would agree that it's probably less prevalent based on the statistics supporting

a more left leaning population. But I would argue that the reasons for that may have nothing to do with lack of religious beliefs and more to do with other demographics seen in the population.

And what does it matter anyway. Can't we just agree that bigotry can be found anywhere and should be combatted wherever it is found?

The danger is in ascribing it to whole populations when it is confined to only certain sub-populations or even individuals.

I have yet to see any basis for homophobia that can withstand any sort of scrutiny.

Atheists, by definition, are only one thing, as is repeatedly pointed out in this group. They are individuals who do not believe in god. There is virtually no other conclusion that you can draw from that. You can look at demographics, but that's about it, but you can't draw all these conclusions that you do about truth and dogma and the bible and the supernatural.

You just can't. It's not part of the definition.
