Settler colonialism wasn't a religion last time I checked
Religion is a cancer to humanity. Do you really think this situation would be anywhere close to as violent and abhorrent without religion?
Religion is just an excuse. If there were no religion they'd find something else to justify it with.
and just like any other excuse, aren’t we beholden to call it out for the benefit of all?
instead, like capitalism, we seem to shrug and say “that’s just how humans are lol” while we go back to killing each other over money or made up stories from 2000 years ago.
just like in therapy/recovery/etc, don’t we have to acknowledge(and i mean actually reflect on) the problem (organised religion, in this case) before anything gets better?
