I’m starting to think that a lot of #atheist #leftist misunderstand #religion. I went to church today. It wasn’t amazing but I did enjoy it. I think that religion, especially in the west, largely isnt about faith anymore. I enjoyed going to church because I saw people I knew, I saw people I didn’t. There was music.
It was a reason to gather.
I know a few Christian leftists, and that’s why I don’t speak out too much against religion itself. I also sing in a church choir sometimes, even though I’m not religious.
I think religion itself is a net negative, but I also feel like there are much bigger fish to fry. Some of the biggest allies I’ve found are ministers of progressive congregations.
