That’s very different. Bullets are made for killing, it’s their sole purpose.

There are tons of good religious people. Look throughout history and everyone was religious to a certain extent, so are most old people today (depending on where you live ofc, but in rural Quebec I don’t know anyone above 65 that’s not religious). Are you saying all these people are evil, instead of, say, the Pope who called the crusades?

Scientologists are shit, and they DO destroy lives, but at least they didn't hijack the US government to age-gate the internet and funnel tax dollars directly into unconditional support for Israel.

So yes, at least in the case of Christians, "most religious people are out of control cultists" or at least "most religious people belong to organizations that directly feed out of control cultists" is accurate enough to be fair.

Oh, you're a reformed cultist? That'd give in some REALLY interesting stories. Try opening an AMA or telling about it on PeerTube, maybe?

I'm neither religious nor spiritual myself and I'm not trying to defend any religion.

My point is that treating religious people as an outgroup is deeply problematic as you're denying one of the basic behavioral patterns in humanity and in yourself.
