I always believed religion was incompatible with a society rooted in addressing material reality, although I know we have have religious users and wanted to hear people's takes.

ngl catholic and protestant Christianity are both on the fash watchlist. you can't enable mass genocide and multiple wars in the middle east and keep your commie card.

You're clearly forgetting that Catholics can be absolved of all wrongdoing by going into a little box and telling a priest that they did a bad thing and then saying a handful of ritualized prayers.

That's not actually how confession works, but that doesn't stop most Catholics from believing it is.

Add Russian Orthodox Church to that. The exiled parts of the ROC literally worked for the German government during WW2 and were given conquered land to manage.

Also, let's not forget the Christian justification for chattel slavery and for why killing Muslim people is a-okay.
