Have you really become so hateful against religion that simply the mention of god in a joke triggers you? I understand that you have become absolutely sick of the American brand of evangelical Christianity but remember religious people are approximately 84% of the entire world population. You can’t lump them all together. The immigrants that evangelical christians want to stop are also majority religious. By hating religious people I think you are hating a larger share of the population than the religious people you hate for hating people.
People have trauma. They’re going to hate the thing that traumatized them.
I feel bad for the immigrants who were brainwashed into their colonizer’s religion. I don’t hold it against them. They’re also not super pushy about coming here and making me believe, so that helps.
Religion sucks. Religious people are people and people can be ok. But their choices suck.
I find it wondrous how oblivious you’re being to the fact that your words make you seem just as bad as the kind of extremism you’re describing.
Zeal needs no religion to breed extremist views, just the hubris of a self-righteous person who thinks they know enough to judge all. Then religion becomes a tool to justify whatever opinion they’re trying to impose and whatever acts they choose to commit. Violence included.
So I don’t think being a militant atheist gives you superpowers. Nearly been there, almost done that. Stopped and did a U turn at some point. Sought answers. Then found my peace and own dogma. I encourage you to try and do the same.
Scientific version of what I’m trying to say if you’re interested (contributions welcome if you’re a neuroscientist or have access to an LLM with access to journals).
I know it’s trying to be cute but I just can’t with religious people anymore. They’ve got to go

What makes you think this person is religious? That could easily be a punchline from a non religious person. Also check the username.
Isn’t singing creation part of LOTR lore?
Yeah, the deities of the world sing together, not just creating the world, but all of history as well, then they go and live it out what they sang.
