    How is overriding sense of morality is a problem? Doesn’t your sociocultural background already do that, leading to conflicts?

    Based on my experience, people seem to override their religion more than the opposite. I doubt if those mega rich pastors, pedophile priests, extremists, and hate groups actually care about what their religions say. It seems that they just do whatever the fuck they want and do all sort of mental gymnastics to justify their actions and make themselves feel better about it. I’d much prefer if religion actually overrides these people’s morality

      You, uh, ever look into the inquisition? Maybe the crusades?

      Most wars in human history have been caused by religious distinctions.

      Humanity has justified an awful lot of shitty behavior on account of religion
