    We would be better off disallowing organized religion in public and forcefully redistributing all excess wealth perpetually.

      No, we should built impenetrable wall between the state and religion, but right to believe and exercise religion is a very fundamental and basic human right.

        There’s no free speech issue here.

        You can practice religion.

        That’s not what I said.

        You are not a victim.

        You don’t get to have a tax exempt public building where you get to contort the minds of your neighbors into killing minorities.

        No more organized religion.

        Do it in your house, keep your cult shit out of our public spaces and don’t indoctrinate children.

        You are not a victim

      Religious persecution and withdrawing of the first amendment.

      Some folks would rather destroy unequivocally, if you can shut down one group - all can be shutdown. That’s literally what most right wing governments do and exploit, by separating certain people and wantingly ending their ability.

      Once it is done, it can be done again and again, each time the lines blur and each times more will suffer.

      You talk as a we, parroting the same talking points everyone else already says and believes. So what can you do in your day?

      I made a homeless man be honest with me through words alone, I have defended another from himself. He was going to attack a white man with a bikelock for being verbally attacked for his race. When was the last time you traveled as man? To see your rotten upon the streets and acted in care for those truly suffering the wealth gap? Or is it just for you?

      What have you done constructive for mankind if you so want them to endure? Is it just to impede?

        Nah if they want to run a little cult where everyone thinks what a leader tells them they can do it in their own homes or make their own Jonestown.

        They can’t do it publicly and they don’t get tax breaks for it.

        Nobody is stopping you from practicing religion, just your victim complex.

          Being able to publicly express their opinions, even religion, is a human right and fundamental constitutional right in any democracy. Stripping it would strip the country of freedom of speech and democracy as whole.
