Just an FYI
Evangelists are accelerationists that want the apocalypse to happen so they can all die and go to heaven.
-
Great now France is going to have a bunch of christofacist morons running around and voting for the end of the world

Le Pen enters the chat.

If it's conversions from Catholicism or other confessions, this is not relevant to the public discourse.
The problem is religion. The sub-flavors of that are irrelevant.
-
The sub-flavors are important. Jainism, Wicca, Asatru, Evangelical, Catholic, etc... all have different world views, expectations etc... some are fairly benign, others are not.
-
Definitely. However, they're all (to my understanding) based on some level of irrational, magical thinking. And that's bad for society in general.
-
Asatru is the one I liked as a child, when I discovered them on Yahoo! Directory They set the tone to understand the real nature of the Catholicism that was forced on me (by atheist parents, just "to fit in") and from there it was a breeze.

Internet atheists never cease to amaze me with their intelligent and nuanced takes.

Aw, someone's feewings get huwt?
-
Religious people never cease to amaze me with their genocides, rampant racism, support for the latest power elite, indoctrination and violation of children, individuation of out-groups to oppose, torture of people with different sexual preferences, exploitation of people lacking education/mental well-being/financial means, de-prioritization of basic human rights against their "clergy"-given values.

Religion isn't the problem,
The problem is a beleif system not grounded in reality under the control of random con men that is protected by the law so they don't have to pay taxes or cooperate with police investigations.
So just all orginized religion...

Better than nothing, and by far better than the nihilistic, hedonistic, consumerist pseudo-ideology the West currently spouses, but the man-worshipping and polytheistic nature of these Trinitarian religious groups is still something to be a little bit wary of.

Evangelicalism is ugly.
-
Honestly, I don't know much about it, it might be one of those crazy American megachurch style nonsense religious groups and in that case, yeah, be double wary. 😔

Wow, Lemmy really hated that. Upvoted for username checking out.

As someone who has spent most of their life in the US South, evangelicalism has a dominionist pervasive quality that shuns cosmopolitan pluralism. More or less, as an ideology, it tries to take over all aspects of life, and does not respect a world where others are allowed to live their lives differently or free. Be wary, France.
