      Organized religion is a very useful tool for imperialism and capitalism, and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t

      I don’t recall saying any of these words you’re putting in my mouth. Are you suggesting the people committing these atrocities are not what I say they are?

      Evangelical Christianity IS a manifestation of capitalism. It is the culture arm of capitalism.

        It predate capitalism by a thousand year but ok.

        You’re thinking of protestant, it’s not secret that allowing usury meant breaking up from the pope. But even then, religions are theaters of the class war, not only tools for the powerful.

          Christianity predates capitalism. Evangelical Christianity is a much more modern development.

      Racism literally came from Christianity. It definitely is the problem and creates a framework to allow capitalists/wealthy to take advantage of people.

          yea japan is notoriously racism-free.

          I know you guys are oppressed by a bunch of christian fundamentalist, but my wife is muslims and secularists here would love to “remigrate” her to the very same biggots that tried to kill her.

              Because japanese racism is mostly targetting chinese and korean whereas black people is presented to them through american medias, which they consider high culture.

              Japan was allied with the nazis ffs

                Glad we can put you silly comment about racism to rest

                The US funded the Nazi for Christ’s sake. What is your point?

                  My point is that the US isn’t evil specifically because it’s christians and that religion isn’t the enemy.

                  My wife’s muslim and the fascists here would have no problem shipping her back to the very same place where extremists attempted to her life. In the name of atheism.

                    Christianity is very evil, no denying it. Read the Bible, full of disgusting displays of manipulation and power.
