I would never pre-judge anyone based on only knowing their religion, because most people manage to reconcile their holy books with modern society, but I think it's wrong to say religions don't hurt people.

The misogyny and the homophobia are there, in the books, plain as day. How many queer people have grown up wracked with guilt over own "sinfulness", and put themselves through conversion therapy because of all the vile shit they internalised from those books? How many women stay with abusive men because God says wives should obey their husbands and divorce is a sin?

I've met lots of lovely Christians and Muslims, but they're lovely despite the religion AFAIAC.
