Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Generally I agree with you. However, I'm still not convinced that there is anything approaching a net positive outcome from religion either currently or historically, and I would in fact argue it is that exact kind of priming that led to the rise of the neo-fascist movement in the first place.
I did not say “net” good. I said “some good”. You still disagree with that?
Based on this statement:
It would seem that you are suggesting that there is some type of positive impact on society from religion or magical thinking that causes you to hold it in higher regard, or consider it to be at least less dangerous than the post-modern conservative ideoligical movement.
I understand what you are saying, I just disagree with that premise...partly because of the fact that the two are fundamentally interwoven ideologically but also because it is clear that the destructive cult dynamics of religion are what psychologically primed these followers of the post-modern conservative movement in the first place.
Sigh, you’re one of those people who loves to argue about nothing. Im blocking you because you’re making up something incredibly silly based on your lack of reading comprehension skills. So read this: cya bud.
