    Yeah, tbh I wish I knew more about the Indian caste system so I can properly understand how horrible it is. It’s like someone who has never lived in a capitalist society, doesn’t understand what steam trains are or what mustard gas is, and has only a basic understanding of the Abrahamic religions mostly via American Christianity, trying to explain the Holocaust to themselves beyond “Nazis kill children” and “Hitler was an evil overlord who hated Jews”; It gets the general picture (slave labor, cruel oppression, etc.) but is far too vague to trigger the sadness, anger and desire to never forget or repeat it that should accompany it.

      and also never forget that the Catholic church, some of whom were actual nazis, helped war criminals escape to south america. The US also had a hand in that, to counter communist movements.

      But yeah, back to how much religions suck. All of them with no exception.

      Any good quality they impart is better derived from secular humanism, imo
