No.
I was raised Catholic, at my mother’s choosing – but I am, by no means a practicing Catholic. I consider myself “spiritual, but not religious”. At least, that’s how i describe myself on the dating apps. Religious groups, particularly here in America, have aligned themselves with the political right. In my opinion, that puts them on wrong side of history in 2024. Of course, doing something really stupid and morally reprehensible has never stopped organized religion before.
I don’t have a problem with people of faith, or even religion as a concept. My problem is with organized religion. Like we do with so many other things, humans have tainted, corrupted, prostituted and outright bastardized religion as a construct. And the fact of the matter is, throughout human, more wars have been fought over different culture’s gods than any other reason in the history of the human race.
