Religion seems to be a necessary mental and emotional crutch for some people to function. Do I like that? No, but at the same time I would no more try to get rid of all religion that I would throw someone’s physical crutches into a fire without being able to immediately replace them with something better. And we don’t appear to have a “something better” for these people yet.
The United Church of Canada is distinctly progressive, and if someone needs to follow a religion, I’d much rather they pick it rather than one of the pseudo-Christian Bible-thumping cults that thinks that anyone who isn’t a straight cismale is a lesser being. There still aren’t many religious groups who would make such an apology, alas.
Every church should apologise to every minority ever, as well as close their doors permanently.
Just outlaw religion tbh. It’s such a backwards anti-scientific regressive bullshit and oppression factory.

Illogical and irrational. Disable your emotions and reframe your thought patterns.
Science has no emotions and no opinions. It has observations, statistics, inferences, theories, and postulates.
It’s pattern matching based on the best available knowledge and forward looking educated guesses.
