unpopular moral take: All religions are absurd cop outs and you should choose your own model for how to be a good person.

True but you gotta remember the most violent and horrific religion of them all....

Yeah because everyone deciding on their own code of morals and ethics will surely contribute to social cohesion... :/

I don't necessarily disagree, but this game is just sooo short-sighted.

Hotter take: ban religion completely outside of religious facilities and private dwellings.

No iconography, no discussion, nothing. You can go into your temple and do whatever stupid shit you want, you can aid the poor if you want, but everything to do with your religion stays behind closed doors.

I don't think that's unpopular on this platform.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

People acting as if they're brave for voicing an "unpopular" opinion, when they're actually with the vast majority on that platform...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

Religion is cancer. All of them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I think the bases of all religions are similar enough... Don't be an asshole, don't be selfish and help others in need, accept everyone, etc...

Problem is the people that actually follow religions (specially when it's a big part of their life) are mostly assholes that don't follow the basic dogmas they themselves preach.

Nope, not even close. It's not even the basis of Christianity, and we associate that one with this message the most (for some reasons). If there is a basis that all religions share, it's that unwavering notion that the religion in question is the right one, and every other is heresy and should be eliminated.
