I am interested in a community of people of faith who are at the same time on the political left, particularly anarchism, and lgbtq+ inclusion, particularly transgender. I am kinda sick and tired of atheists harassing everyone religious. I don’t care much about the philosophy surrounding it, it is just that their collective behavior is arguably harassment, not a bit different to typical transphobic harassment about delusions etc. I believe that freedom of religious belief is a very basic right for people of all convictions. At the moment there is a huge divide: religious lgbtq+ people who are also anarchist (and might have been ostracized by their religious community on top of everything else) have no place to go without facing atheist harassment, and this is how there is no place to discuss faith together with politics and identity. So, here goes, I want to start this discussion with people who would like to see sth like this happening.

    I don’t have a need for this sort of community, but if you want a queer theists comm you should try making one. Though there may not be enough folks to sustain it; here on lemmy there often just aren’t enough people to sustain small niche communities because if there aren’t posts, nothing shows up on people’s feed, and people forget the community exists. Which is a challenge since most people just lurk and don’t post.

    As an atheist myself I really don’t see why so many people have decided to attack you for your way of relating to the world, unless there’s some context I’m missing. The important thing is that you’re kind, not whether you think there’s a god or not.

    Judging people for their demographic like what religion they subscribe to rather than how they treat people is stupid. If you’re a dick you’re a dick, and if you’re not a dick you’re not. It’s not complicated.

    I don’t give a shit if someone is religious, I give a shit if you’re kind. My apologies for the shitty attitude of replies in this thread OP
