Lemmy users are so one-dimensional.

Those “out of control” people are using religion because it’s a powerful tool. They are not “cultists”, odds are they don’t even believe in it. Blame the killer, not the knife.

    Is that “bullet don't kill people, people kill people” but for religion? Lol.

    That’s very different. Bullets are made for killing, it’s their sole purpose.

    There are tons of good religious people. Look throughout history and everyone was religious to a certain extent, so are most old people today (depending on where you live ofc, but in rural Quebec I don’t know anyone above 65 that’s not religious). Are you saying all these people are evil, instead of, say, the Pope who called the crusades?

    And religion is made to repress and control masses. This evil people are just using religion exactly for what it is designed for: to mind control groups in order to exploit them. If they can use religion even if they personally don't believe in it, it is even worse.

    Then blame religion, or its leaders, not the poor fools who didn’t know any better.
