I am not targetting you, but more this mindset. I often find people want to consider religion to be something horrible and that it's inherently the problem, but that's really only part of a bigger problem. Religions are often the justification to an action, but not often the cause of the action or often only part of the cause. People often use Christianity as an excuse to willful ignorance, often choosing to believe that anything they don't agree with is somehow inherently against their beliefs. Even when in reality their actions completely contradict their beliefs. Religion is often sighted as a justification for everything from persecuting people, to wars. When in reality those often are deeply rooted in issues like politics, economics, and sometimes outright hatred of different people. People literally do the same thing with every single religion. I know countless other Satanists who tell me I am "not Satanic" and I am "just a reverse-Christian," because I am not a LaVeyan Satanist. It's worth noting that most LaVeyan Satanists don't consider the practice to be a religion, but a philosophy. So they basically justify their distaste for me with a philosophy. Which leads me to my point, it's not religion's fault that people are horrible. People are going to find something to justify their actions, justify negative ideologies, and just be horrible people. Religion isn't inherently evil, it's what people do in the name of it that is.
