I am European and haven’t been to the US in over 15 years and I still firmly hold the believe that religion is cancer and every religion is a cult, especially the christian organizations both big and small.
And don’t tell me I don’t know what I am talking about.
I was raised catholic and probably know my way around the bible better than most christians.
According to the 2012 Global Religious Landscape survey by the Pew Research Center, 75.2% of the Europe residents are Christians, 18.2% are irreligious, atheist or agnostic, 5.9% are Muslims and 0.2% are Jews, 0.2% are Hindus, 0.2% are Buddhist, and 0.1% adhere to other religions.
That is quite the persecution complex you have there if you believe 80+% of the people in Europe are in a cult.
We’re using fancy words now to seem smart?
Works better if you know what they mean.
And I don’t have any problem believing that vast majorities of a population can fall to a cult.
I mean in the middle ages people didn’t even have a choice about their religion and I hope you are not trying to tell me crusades and literal witch hunts are not cult behaviour.
So now that we’ve gotten definitions out of the way, can we acknowledge what century we are in?
I mean in the middle ages people didn’t even have a choice about their religion and I hope you are not trying to tell me crusades and literal witch hunts are not cult behaviour.
At which point did I say 80% of Europeans are currently involved in Crusades or Literal Witch Hunts?
My point was currently, right now, 80% of the population believe in one religion or another. Support for left wing ideals, such as social programs and rights for LGBTQ+ far exceeds 20% of the population. The problem is not religion. The problem is hateful closed minded people who use religion as an excuse to be hateful and close minded.
