Separate? It needs to be an 80' wall! Now that's a wall I wouldn't mind funding!
Tell that to the Buddhists.

"Religion is the opium of the masses."
That would be the internet now.
Sorry, that's been your experience.Religion the greatest con invented by man. It's only purpose is to control the weak-minded.
The real problem is people who believe they're keepers of the TRUTH.Wouldnt it be amazing with a society in which schools taught religion as a culture historic concept, something apes of old used to believe in, and then just taught the children the truth. No magic men in skies. You live you live, you die you dead. Done.
Even in the most "free" societies, we a still harming young souls like @7yo, listen up little Lisa, about that magic man in the sky, that is something you have to figure out for yourself if its something you believe in.The real problem is people who believe they're keepers of the TRUTH.
I'm non-religious, but I don't want to ban religion. Rather, I want to end the stigma surrounding non-religious people in office, where people have to put on a dog and pony show to pretend they're religious no matter how obvious it is that they aren't. I still find it hilarious/sad that so many (thankfully not all) Christians claim Trump has their back even though it's patently obvious that he's not only not religious, but probably the most immoral US leader in decades.
I want non-religious politicians to campaign and win as who they are. I want them to promise true separation of church and state while reassuring the religious that this isn't a war against them. And I want a society where right-wing religious politicians aren't trying to passive-aggressively institute theocracy.

I mean. What. A. Mind. Job..... And this is coming from the adults that is supposed to be protecting Lisa.
I dont get it.
What is the harm of little Lisa learning the tenants of faith and deciding later whether they're worth believing in or not?Even in the most "free" societies, we a still harming young souls like @7yo, listen up little Lisa, about that magic man in the sky, that is something you have to figure out for yourself if its something you believe in.

That's not religion creating those problems, it's human nature.My objection would be, with religion you have a pyramid of power, power positions that is filled with people often of dubious character and with minimal oversight. Until the day you get all of religions middle management to sign on to a all-religions-are-created-equal piece of paper, religion is going to get used for personal gain. again and again and again ... and again.
I guess that means 84% of the worlds population are weak-minded. Good luck with that.
Ah, I see. Those with a different world view than your own are flawed, weak and, ignorant. I'll own that if you own being a bigot.Id be ok with it, if you could make it happen. They are the most flawed humans. Easily brainwashed at a young age. Definitely the most ignorant group around.
Quite a foaming frenzy you've got going on there. You alright?Hate crime...wackjob...fundie nut
Oh c'mon. Like you've never seen some dangerous jihadi looking types on your way to bible school and been in a position to do The Lord's Work. Feh.
It's friggin meshuggeneh what religion can do to people.

Re: religion of the masses...That would be the internet now.
While religion certainly can be the root cause of hate, more often than not it is just a conduit for humanity to express hatred through.
