Religion:

  • You have to Follow the only leader, you shall not have an Opinion, and you must convince everyone to have your opinion

Democracy:

  • Have your own opinion
  • Understand others arguments and find a compromise
  • No Leader

Now why the actual fuck are people still saying that religion is less than a threat to Democracy? Like, everyone who just even mentions that he got their opinion from the bible should get a lifelong unpaid vacation from Europe straight to Dubai.

    Religion is the enemy of choice, education, and thought. It’s regressive, anti-medicine, anti-science, and anti-logic. Everything about it is designed to destroy and support hate, while supporting priests that are compulsive liars.

    Religious people lie about their religion’s threat to democracy. If they’re truly religious, then their god’s laws are the only laws - and they think they don’t need a government, just a religion. Which is stupid and false, but their priests keep lying to them.

      I don’t love religion but this is completely false. Religious institutions were the centers of science and human intellectual progress for centuries.
