I don't know. I'm pretty angry at Christianity in general rn. The Christian Right has done a lot of goddamn damage to my country [the U.S.] Maybe the writers of this movie were just doing catharsis.

I'll have to watch it.

I was raised Syrian Orthodox, btw.

Same.

I'm more of an agnostic deist than a smug atheist, but I'm so sick of religions affecting those who don't follow their tenets in terms of lawmaking and voting trends that I'm just like...tip those sacred cows!

Agreed. I'm agnostic too, but I think it's worth saying that I have NEVER had a Jewish person or a Muslim try to convert me to their religion. Yet somehow that seems to be not only okay but also expected with Christianity, and that's just fucked up.

But to what extent is that - particularly the expectation of proselytism - just a result of living in a society that is more Christian than any other religion?

I don't think you would have the same experiences in a majority-Muslim culture.

Recruiting is something that Christians and Muslims are supposed to do, but not most other religions. Judaism makes it actively difficult to convert.

(You've probably never run into a Muslim proselytiser because of where you live, but there's plenty out there, just like Christians.)

If you'll excuse my saying so, being angry at all of Christianity because of the Christian Right is fucking stupid. Be angry at the Christian Right for what the Christian Right has done.

There are a lot of people who don't think they can possibly be part of the problem, though. For instance, some of them think the problem is those people who hate gay people. If you don't hate gay people, but believe that gay people are sinners who need to be cured, you're still part of the problem. (To be clear, this is just one example.)

I don't see how that conflicts with what I said.

A lot of more "moderate" Christians are acting in ways that give support to the extremists, though. Having been raised Christian, there's a lot of "well, we disagree with them, but we don't want to air our dirty laundry where other people can see it." Instead of decreasing political power, it lets them say that they have all of these people behind them.

THIS.
