    That is how most new branches of religion start. Instead maybe Christianity in its core is not what modern people think it is. The Bible itself is a collection and not a single written source. Think of it as a foss project that got forked early on, then a few people took parts of these forks and sample it into the versions we know today, which then also got forked with every translation.

    So if you decide to do what said you should consider checking other religions such as Islam and see what you like there as well.

      I agree completely. I’m honestly a little annoyed by some of the antitheists in this thread. They should know that historically societies become less religious after quality of life and progressive outlooks develop, not before. So the way you “defeat religion”, if that’s even possible, is by raising living standards and fighting for equality. There are Christians who do more to end Christianity than most atheists.

      Also using FOSS as an analogy for religion is hilarious to me for some reason. It works though.

      Oh I hate all religions you don’t wanna get me derailed

      They’re all horrible.

      I won’t split hairs and decide if one is worse than another.

      They’re all anti human, and intolerant of logic.

      “But what about my religion?”

      Yeah yours too.

      Science or magic.

      One gives us vaccines cell phones and space ships

      The other gives us anti vaccines, and a place for rapists to hide
