which is far smaller than people with religious affiliations.

Yup, 23% is 13% smaller than Protestants, so if you want to get rid of Protestants you'll get rid of 13% instead of the full 39% if we deal with the actual fucking cause. 23% is 9% smaller than Catholics, so if you want to get rid of Catholicism you'll get rid of the 9% that are bigots instead of the full 32%. Evangelicals are the only one more than double the baseline, so you could focus on Evangelicals and deal with the 29% of them that are bigots, or we could find a solution that accounts for Secular bigots as well and deal with all 52%. Why are you arguing for less effective methods? What even is your plan to get rid of all religion and leaving only 1 in 4 people as bigots?

You just don't want to accept anything other than getting rid of religion, regardless of how ineffective the idea is. You're arguing in bad faith, and getting upset that when pushed your bad faith becomes obvious and you look like a fool. You're sticking on a stupid point for no reason other than your own hatred and bigotry. you’re fucking pathetic. Quit trying to push your bad faith arguments and you'll stop showing yourself to be a fool.

Well according to this study: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-secular-life/201807/religion-secularism-and-xenophobia

23% of the population doesn't need religion to be bigots, so eliminating all religion still leaves 1 in 4 people in America a bigot.

23% of non-religious/secular Americans said that they viewed the predicated changing racial and ethnic demographics as a bad thing.

Holy shit, 23% of secular Americans are bigots. That sure as fuck isn't an outlier, it's 1 in 4 people. Find 3 other secular people, one of you is a bigot. Why are you proposing a solution that ignores roughly 20 million bigots? (Population of 334,914,895, roughly 28% are secular, roughly 23% of those are bigots).

I'm starting to suspect bigotry is not your main focus of concern here.

you’re taking an outlier: a bigoted secularist; and equating it with the norm of religious bigotry.

I'm going to take a page for your book and ask for a source on that. What is the difference in bigotry between religious and secular people?

methinks you might have an ulterior motive.

Me thinks thou dost protest too much. You've taken a article about bigotry, that doesn't mention religion a single time, and used it as your soapbox to declare all religion should be banned. I'm not the one with the ulterior motive here, and I'm just pointing that out.

If someone argued that the way to stop bigotry was to make sure everyone was vaccinated I'd argue against that too, because it's irrelevant to what is happening and won't fix it.

Sounds like bigotry exists in both, the origins must be something else.

Why waste time with words when no words do trick?

I got fed up with Windows and recently tried Linux Mint. In regards to ease of use it was like a breath of fresh air. Things just work inherently, and I didn't have to fight with it to remove bullshit I didn't want.

As for software compatibility I've mostly already had alternatives readily available. For other things the tools exist to make them compatible and don't take long to learn.

There is no reason not to recommend it to people who are getting annoyed with the enshittification of Windows.

Man you give up quick when the effective solution isn't attacking religion. Makes me suspect that your actual motivation may not be ending bigotry, but rather furthering your own bigotry. (Shocking, I know)

Anti - vaxxers are based on fairy tales but claim to be based on reason and logic. Religion is not the problem, education is.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

So you're being anecdotal?

What makes you think this group of men were religious in the first place?

This is a weird one.

I am subscribed to Risa@startrek.website When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
