@petealexharris@mastodon.scot I find all religious people rather sinister!
For example, all the weird stuff they claim actually exists, their subservience to a patriarchal hierarchy, or the way they "other" people who aren't members of their particular hallucination club.
I find them all equally creepy.

@LillyHerself@mastodon.social @petealexharris@mastodon.scot It all depends on the religion. For example, there are some neopagans who actively work against the patriarchy.

@LillyHerself@mastodon.social That's a point of view. But most people who are culturally part of a religion that's been around long enough to have settled in properly are completely normal and you wouldn't be able to identify any such behaviour relative to other similar religions, agnosticism or atheism in their everyday life. Their decency and morality is a matter of personal character and understanding, only their explanations for why and how are different, and we're all wrong about a lot of stuff.
