Homophobia and Atheism aren't mutually exclusive to one another, hell I know plenty of Atheist Transphobes.. some of whom used to be gay allies until they were radicalized by the Alt Right.
anecdotal.
What makes you think this group of men were religious in the first place?
just a hunch kid
So you're being anecdotal?
really just providing a bad faith answer in a bad faith argument.
let's start over. do you think a secular society is better for the modern world than a religious one?
Replying with just the word "anecdotal" is bad faith.
So is assuming this attack was motivated by religion instead of by a group of assholes.
Let's start over: what happened here was terrible, shouldn't be allowed, and it's absurd that no one has been charged when police already interviewed one of the assailants and so should know who they are.
Instead of getting distracted by some secular vs religious debate that might not even be relevant, let's focus on pressuring the police to do their damn job.
the police (which we don't like and wish didn;t exist) will continue to have to do their job over and over until humans stop being shitty. what is your pat towards humans not being shitty?
Again, I don't need a fully documented 10 point plan to point out that your idea doesn't work. Dealing with the religious bigots doesn't deal with the secular bigots. Dealing with the secular bigots deals with both, so why waste time on religion?
