    unfortunately they continue to occupy positions of authority in our society.

    No need to pick on religious people in this case. There are plenty of people with various character flaws in positions of power / authority.

    If religious people were actually dismissed in the way you describe I could understand your perspective. They are not mocked liked this though and are very much taken seriously.

    So you don’t know about:

    • Bill Maher
    • Bill Hicks
    • George Carlin
    • South Park
    • any comedy movie that involves a religious character
    • the Internet

      Dude was talking about religion in government and your best rebuttal is people make fun of stuff on comedy shows?

          Please tell me how south park poking fun at you, as they do with everyone, affects your ability to legislate. Last i checked the jokes haven’t stopped anyone from cramming their religion down our throats

              The royal you, are you just trying to be obtuse at this point? (Rhetorical question)

      Notably those examples make absolutely no difference on how religious people in authority positions frequently use their religion to guide how they use their authority (which ain’t fucking cool)
