    This is because of the role religion plays in politics. Religion should have nothing to do with politics in modern times.

      There is plenty of homophobe, transphobe, racist and otherwise bigoted people that have nothing to do with religion.

      And if people would take their religion seriously instead of using it as a superficial scapegoat, cherrypicking what they like, there would be no capitalism.

        Horrible people would exist without religion but religion is the biggest and easiest tool to use to get a mass of people to act horribly and believe horrible things. And the inverse is true too. Horrible people have used their religion as a way to act horribly.

      Religion is what gives these people the excuse.

      It’s their own prejudices that play into politics.

      Which is why we must be advocates for Satanism. Surely if i have the right to practice whichever religion i want, i (as a Satanist) should be able to carry out abortions and sleep with the same sex right?
