Those “out of control” people are using religion because it’s a powerful tool. They are not “cultists”, odds are they don’t even believe in it. Blame the killer, not the knife.
That’s very different. Bullets are made for killing, it’s their sole purpose.
There are tons of good religious people. Look throughout history and everyone was religious to a certain extent, so are most old people today (depending on where you live ofc, but in rural Quebec I don’t know anyone above 65 that’s not religious). Are you saying all these people are evil, instead of, say, the Pope who called the crusades?
And religion is made to repress and control masses. This evil people are just using religion exactly for what it is designed for: to mind control groups in order to exploit them. If they can use religion even if they personally don’t believe in it, it is even worse.
Scientologists are shit, and they DO destroy lives, but at least they didn’t hijack the US government to age-gate the internet and funnel tax dollars directly into unconditional support for Israel.
So yes, at least in the case of Christians, “most religious people are out of control cultists” or at least “most religious people belong to organizations that directly feed out of control cultists” is accurate enough to be fair.
You are the problem of the US. Not the maga, not scientologists, not even evangelical christians. These groups are just trying to seize power through people like you. People who are on the edge to hate.

LOL, someone must feel seen if they think calling out religious people is worse than the goddamned fascists killing people.
Maybe try directing your impotent rage at the people actively fucking up the country?
I’m neither religious nor spiritual myself and I’m not trying to defend any religion.
My point is that treating religious people as an outgroup is deeply problematic as you’re denying one of the basic behavioral patterns in humanity and in yourself.
Cultists generally get mad when called a culstist, especially when you point out that the only difference between a cult and a religion is size and age.
The cult of Christianity has poisoned the world with its mythos, and is worse off for it.
That’s what I call most religious people.
Lemmy users are so one-dimensional.

Is that “bullet don’t kill people, people kill people” but for religion? Lol.
Wait, you are serious? let me laugh harder. Hahahahaha!

Then blame religion, or its leaders, not the poor fools who didn’t know any better.
Hey there, you. Yes, you. Fuck you
I thought I would grow out of that edgy take but what can I say, it stuck.

Scientology actually did infiltrate and hijack parts of the US government in Operation Snow White.

Genuinely fuck you too.

Tomato, tomato.
And a very happy May the 4th to you too, buddy.
You’re not gonna start burning books about them, are you?
There will always be “people on the edge” for evangelical Christians to hate, no matter how much we coddle them.
Hey, fuck you too buddy. Your religion is evil and so are its devout rubes.

Oh, you’re a reformed cultist? That’d give in some REALLY interesting stories. Try opening an AMA or telling about it on PeerTube, maybe?
Why, reformed
christianscultists are a dime a dozen
