I’m starting to think that a lot of #atheist #leftist misunderstand #religion. I went to church today. It wasn’t amazing but I did enjoy it. I think that religion, especially in the west, largely isnt about faith anymore. I enjoyed going to church because I saw people I knew, I saw people I didn’t. There was music.
It was a reason to gather.
Religions can be fun, interesting, and educating. Why limit yourself to only one?
Many atheists have a strong understanding of many religions. IMO eastern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism provide a much healthier outlook of life. Their stories can be interesting as fuck, and their events are simply beautiful.
The main problem is with Christianity and the Catholic church, looking things through the spectrum of good or evil, is manipulative at best, if not downright evil (pun intended)…
Also, and I cannot stress this enough, aren’t these the same guys (specifically men) that banned abortion? The people hurting millions of women in America as we speak right now. Not to touch on how they are planning to ban gay marriage…
If you had fun at church, go to a Satanic Temple party, I guarantee it’s going to be much more fun!!
Last but not least, you minimize other people’s experiences, it’s not healthy… Try asking more open ended questions without being critical of other people or making assumptions. Be open minded like an atheist, not judgy and condescending like a priest.
