You’re allowed to believe in a god. You’re allowed to believe unicorns live in your shoes for all I care. But the day you start telling me how to wear my shoes so I don’t upset the unicorns, I have a problem with you. The day you start involving the unicorns in making decisions for this country, I have a BIG problem with you.

A bit too egocentric for my taste. To take the example further, people that teach their kids they can only wear sandals when going out or people teaching to discriminate against race or gender because they believe it will make the shoe-unicorns sad can also shove their belief where the sun don't shine

problem is, things like racism and sexism aren't explicitly taught and are kinda passed on through culture

Culture and religion are in many cases closely tied though
