My point is that many "all religions are bad" folks couldn't tell you a thing about any religion other then Christianity. They just assume all religions are the same, they are all like Christianity. Their Atheism is informed only by Christianity and so they are inadvertently Christian supremacists.

I finally gave up on Tumblr about 8 years ago b/c I pointed out on a repost that it's impossible to prove the nonexistence of gods & a hail of new atheists showed up to say they covet their neighbors' wives and haven't been struck by lightning, gotcha And I just never cared enough to log in again

I used to work in an office that was all Atheists, one evangelical, and me (Greek pagan), so I read some Dawkins to better understand their arguments, and even on 2007 it was OBVIOUS how Christian that sonofagun was. Also how knee-jerk all his arguments were. And also that he was an ass.

way too many people think Judaism is just some sort of "christianity lite" - like they can't conceptualize that we do things for entirely different reasons. see, e.g., explaining that we don't proselytize: bsky.app/profile/very...

They can’t even comprehend distinctions between different branches of Christianity. I had one atheist friend try to tell me that the Westboro Baptist Church was the most biblically correct out of every denomination.

Yup. Judaism is Christianity - Jesus. Buddhism is Christianity with Buddha instead of Jesus. I have no idea how they even conceive of indigenous religions, that's right, they don't. They dismiss them as being not complex enough for that. 🙄

Sometimes they also think Islam is bad because their rigorous critical thinking has identified the same bad guys as the Pentagon

Also the whole "all religions are bad because they are basically Christianity except that Islam is extra bad" people make my head spin *even more*, somehow.

I admittedly used to be one of those kind of guys, especially since a lot of what led me to atheism was podcasts by guys like that, and what helped me out of it was working in libraries in Black neighborhoods and being reminded how much religion was tied to the Civil Rights movement.

Big topic, esp. given that "religion" is a Western term, and strongly shaped by post-Reformation currents of thought. As a student of world "religion," though, I'm prone to the view that to say "all religions are bad" is akin to saying "all languages are bad."

If the religion is based in patriarchy it’s bad. If the religion oppresses anyone, it’s bad. If the religion only touts binary gender and/or cishet marriages, it’s bad.

Stating "All Religions Are Bad" on its face is disingenuous to people who do good works because their faith compels them. I'm an agnostic, I have doubts about God-like beings' existence or if their existence matters. What matters is the observable universe here around us and what we do while alive.
