Exactly what the title says, Christianity in all its various strains still stems from the horrendous old testament, and with all the awful shit that endorses, as well as with things like Calvinism and the general doomsday cult foundations in the religion, why do some people still act so charitably towards it? Christianity has proven itself to be a morally corrupt and oppressive institution at every turn. Or maybe I’m just too negative? 
EDIT Ok guys I get it this was rather reductionist, and I definitely was disregarding all the good that religious folks have done, and that religion has inspired people to do, but again over correcting into enthusiastic support for religion can also be problematic.
No, I agree with you. State atheism and a significant reduction in the power of the church is only logical. Religion is extremely reactionary. Look who they support and promote time and time again. Many of them believe Trump was chosen by God.
Basing your laws and values off of a 2000 year old law book is complete nonsense. We don’t look to ancient misconceptions for guidance in any other field. How could people who didn’t even know about the solar system hold the secrets to the universe?
How can anyone here defend the beliefs that: Being gay is an abomination. Abortion is always wrong. Evolution is untrue. Israel belongs to the Jewish people. Etc, etc.
Why is masking there reaction by talking to an imaginary friend and getting his approval acceptable? The worst of them deserve the wall, the rest harsh reeducation.
