religion is often co-opted by reactionary groups...but bigotry is a lot deeper than that

historically religion has just as easily been entwined with fundamentally good and just beliefs

You know atheist reactionaries are annoying as **** but leftists bending over backwards to not be seen as atheist reactionaries because Sargon of Akkad was a thing are just as ****ing moronic.

You can be chill about religion and not pretend there's nothing wrong with it to win a culture war battle that's been stale for years at this point.

It doesn't make sense to lump in the pointed criticisms of specific religious influences in this country with those who use atheism to shroud their racism either.

Yea I call bull**** on this. Do you any evidence of Atheists actually being a significant amount of the anti trans anything?

But since you brought it up atheist groups like Atheist Community of Austin which has the largest Atheist podcast/radio show (longest running too) even has a show run by trans people to debate and educate callers. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZZx...WfUifXheSnEmEE) The entire anti trans philosophy comes from religious texts lol

You need to get off the internet and experience real life once in a while.

and was just thinking about how multiple churches hold a Free Breakfast Sunday aimed at providing for the homeless

additionally how these churches tend to advertise how they're LGBT+

billboards will say "all are loved by God" etc...pride flags are flown proudly at these Churches

Completely irrelevant. Of course not all religious people are against it, thats not exactly a credit to religion....as they are just picking and choosing what of "gods word" to follow.

I am not sure I understand the question...of course I am. Thats literally all I have talked about doing this entire time lol

If I remember right The Satanic Temple is for just generally "Satanic" people and not Laveyan Satanism and The Church of Satan is specifically a Laveyan Satanist organization that forces you to pay $50 to join because "I'm a Satanist, we're self interested".

Laveyan Satanism is brain dead dog **** half assedly stitched together to justify creating Howard's edge lord religion & persona. He takes the nihilism of Nietzsche, the anti-altruism of Ayn Rand & the occultism of Crowley then waters it down. When I say take I mean he's literally plagiarized them. His understanding of the occult was pitiful, and Howard himself was a pathological liar which is why he seems like a cartoon. His whole life story he tells people is made up.

If you're going to get into "Satanic" or occult beliefs pick Thelema. As above, so below is a much cooler concept than anything in the Satanic Bible.

I think Satanic Temple is more explicitly secular humanist and egalitarian rather than edgy libertarian but I'm not an expert. I didn't know LaVey's real name was Howard though lmao.
