If you're such an agnostic/atheist why are you not only okay with religious propaganda, but spreading it yourself? Your being neutral about religion always ends up benefitting religious people/institutions. Why are y'all not questioning this bias?

It's like y'all didn't grow up with it so it didn't fuck you up for life, and it didn't fuck up your siblings for life, and it didn't traumatize and ruin you on any level... And bc of that you're only willing to speak for religious freedom in the context of people being religious?

Why are you okay with religious freedom but not with freedom to not have religion?

Every time I hear ex-religious people discuss how horrible their experiences were, there's always some happy camper never-even-been-to-a-sermon/mass who wants to come and say everyone should have the right to believe whatever they believe.

Like sure, believe whatever you want, but the second your beliefs infringe on other people's human rights maybe it's time that we stop pretending that's acceptable and neutral in society.

People who grow up mostly culturally free of religion should see their privilege for what it is and ensure that others get the same luck in the future.

Not pretend that it's not dystopian to see churches post "demure" memes on TikTok, or that the Vatican's mascot is an anime character. These religious groups are trying to recruit children. They want to appeal to younger audiences. They want to brainwash more people so that they get to stay rich and powerful.

While the claim that she was "nice??????" Is completely irrelevant??????! People don't hate her because she was impolite.

I really don't think it's "Royalist apologia" to acknowledge that women were property to the men of aristocracy at the time, and indeed to men generally, including the king.

You can't convince me that a woman who started life as a disappointment for not being male, was sold as a child, moved across the continent as a child, and was then serially raped until pregnant as a child, had any sort of agency, because she didn't. She was a victim. She survived to the best of her ability, and she was murdered for it.

And proto-feminist revolutionaries did nothing to prevent her from being falsely accused of sexually abusing her son in court, or when her best friend's head was cut off and then paraded outside of her window on a pike to torment her for weeks. Revolutionaries murdered a woman and used her remains to torment another woman.

The original is "qu'ils mangent de la brioche" which was a joke/saying in France before she was even born (it's actually the punchline, not the full thing). Historians disagree on the original saying (where it came from and what it referenced) but we know with 100% certainty that it had nothing to do with Marie-Antoinette.
