    That’s unfortunately only an option if you’re born in or live in a country that gives you that option.

      It’s a very privileged position to come from but it’s still fucking wild to me the amount of influence religion still holds over the entire planet. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so terrifying

        Western religions are a tool to control people and it was always about power and a false sense of superiority, but in the end it is a giant conspiracy theory where billions are entangled.

          Why specify western? Confucianism and eastern philosophies are very controlling themselves. India’s backwards caste system is justified by their religion too.

          Organized religions are all tools of control. There’s no regional exceptionalism here. Even Buddhism has a body count.

            Simply because I am not so familiar with those religions. What about Buddhism?

            Western religions are supposed to be Christianity, Judaism and Islam, yes Islam is part of it but not the only one.
