It's really not. You're holding them accountable for their religion over the belief that they're supporting something that they aren't.

It comes more from the fact that you don't care about either, so to you they're pretty much the same thing. To you the differences are too insignificant to matter.

They may not believe that paedophelia is okay, but their actions are perpetuating the atrocities. Are you starting to see a theme here?

For one, I know that sects are of the same religion.

Anecdotal experience tells me athiests know more about religion than the religious. Which makes sense considering how ****ing ridiculous religion is.

No, because you're jumping to the conclusion that being Catholic means you actively support the institution. I gave an example of a Catholic that actively chose not to support the institution. Going to church doesn't mean you support the institution, preaching or practicing your faith doesn't mean you support it. I'm sure there are plenty of Catholics that remain faithful yet still actively avoid supporting that institution. You're just assuming they don't exist. So being catholic is not an action that perpetuates atrocities, it's just assumed.



Knowing that difference doesn't change the fact that you don't care enough about either sect to find their differences significant in any kind of way.

Explain Trump. Even better, explain Iran.

Open degenerates might win for a season, but eventually there is a brutal backlash by the private degenerates, and open degeneracy is annihilated for a season.

he still lost the popular vote (the right is a radical insurgency at this point) and won the midwest by posturing as to the left of Hillary Clinton on outsourcing and such (Roger Stone is a political marketing genius)

to clarify, I don't mean Democrats will always win elections, I mean culturally the US gradually becomes more progressive despite reactionaries

Kind of like Iran until xenophobic fear mongering flooded their culture. It all seems to be going good until it goes bad.
