    Religion is a very important propaganda tool - but it doesn’t control squat.

    That must be why LGBT+ people are so tolerated in Muslim and evangelical Christian communities in countries where being queer is legal, right? They’re really tolerated and loved and no one in a church or mosque is telling them they’re evil, just the media. Because you can’t control people through religion.

      There’s no need to go all reactionary atheist (a religion that has no churches or temples - but lots of media) on me - it’s not going to gain you anything.

      I’ll explain it this way -

      To be anti-LGBTQ+ is to be anti-working class. Period. No ifs, ands or buts.

      To be anti-religion is to be anti-working class. Period. No ifs, ands or buts.

      There is no contradiction here. If you think there is one, it’s your logic that requires examination.

        Who do you think tells them to be homophobic? Do you think it’s genetic or something? They get it from the churches.
