    I still think that’s giving them a little too much credit and that religion is just a convenient excuse to hate people who are different.

      That’s certainly what it was at first, but we’re talking about people who have been indoctrinated from birth for generations.

      e: I strongly encourage you to watch some of their educational content. I won’t even try to guide you towards anything specific. Just any of it.

        I was sent to a private Baptist school until I was in the sixth grade so I am all too familiar.

          A very large faction has been weaponising that indoctrination against others, and it’s been increasingly effective.

          I am heartened that it didn’t work on you.

            If anything my experiences at that school sent me barrelling down a path towards atheism.
