    They often espouse seemingly decent and benign ideologies.

    Sometimes they are so conditioned that they don’t even think of their bigotry as bigotry.

    I think organized religion fills their heads with problematic ideas about gender roles.

      Heh, while religion isn’t required for that. It’s impossible to argue that it doesn’t help with it. Putting faith in anything and turning off critical thinking is always a recipe for disaster.

      Pretty sure the old testament gives wives more authority in the community and in the household than what our current government is aiming for.

      Fucking hell there are instructions for abortifactants in the OT

      Don’t pin this on religion, this is purely the bias of petty men coloring their interpretations.
