2. Trust me, people can hate religion without ever taking into account

the Evangelicals who support and cover Trump.

There's the Catholic Church and its long history of pedophelia.

There are the fundamentalists of all religions who do not believe in the dignity and autonomy of women.

Then there's the basic disagreements about what the Scriptures mean, which ones you should actually pay attention to, what prayers you should pray and on and on.

My essential problem with religion is that each and every one says, "We have the correct take on all this. And only we are right." Some religions are more openly adamant about that, but in the end, that's what they all say.

I don't buy it.

But that's just me.
