"if youre anti-theist thats basically supporting cultural genocide" i am going to become the joker

i dont know why so many people who are ahem quote unquote socialist or anarchist completely drop their socialism or anarchism when it comes time to question the hegemonic assumptions and practices which are baked into religion and its constitutive rituals and practices like for example when caste hindus perform the puja where the wife prays for her husband's longevity and to be married to him in all lives do you think that is in any way a neutral act of faith and prayer? or even the grander moments of prayer or oh togetherness around a shared belief. this pearl-clutchy "oh but what about the marginalized religions won't they be hurt first" n the marginalized religions theyre talking about are waiiiit for it hinduism and judaism and oh buddhism?? you are not serious people jksfdjsd you think faith is neutral and personal and disconnected from your politics you think that "higher" beliefs are not formulated by earthly histories which they carry with them in all forms and ways. "religion can be a force for good" well so can anything bitch so can capitalism if we really try to see it that way. how many dead people? how many dead people before we admit that the institutions which capture that in people which calls for something "higher and more beautiful" are rotten parasites that offer life's meaning only as a means to smuggle in the motives of power and bigotry? religion has never ever ever been that untainted and pure not at the beginning and never since.
