    They would. Without religion being fed from birth.

    I’m seeing a pretty grim trend in the metal community, where old opponents of organized religion suddenly have become religious.

    When the singer of WASP(we are satans people) and Iced earth (vocal opponent of Christianity and the cruelty of religious leaders) all of a sudden are born again christians, i start to get worried. The second also got arrested during 6th jan…

        Don’t single out one of them. By that logic, islam is the religion of Arab supremacy.

        There is definitely stronger links between religion and white supremacy in the us. But us is not even half of the Christians in the world. Most of which are black och hispanic.

          This isn’t about singling anyone out. islam isnt relevant to this conversation about fascist white supremacist christians overtaking the us government.

            Yes, but thats not “christianity”. Do you see what i mean?

            And i mean that in no way to defend Christianity, i detest those institutions of backward thinking. All of them. Equally.

              I really well and truly do not care for no true scottsman arguments. Some christians are horrible people. They’re still christian even if they’re hypocrites, because every religious person inherently is because no one could possibly follow every single one of their rules, and in fact in many instances the rules themselves demand people pick and choose.

                But you where completely fine in making that argument when it came to islam. Why is that? Other than the likely fact that you come the US and have a different relationship with that religion.

                I think you missed the point of my post. I’m talking about people that absolutely are not racist, they are some of the few in society that stood up to religious norms in a time when they where ostrasized for it. They where simply against religion and fought against it. I want them to fight the powers that be again.

                Kind of like some of the Iranian guys that fled here after being arrested for wearing metal shirts in Teheran. They still have warrants out for 14 year old sentences. But they still play and they are on the right side of things.

                  This just literally makes no sense. You are so stuck with the initial irrelevant strawman you made that you’ve latched on to believing Im making some random argument that hasn’t been made and continues to be irrelevant because we are currently talking about the white supremacy takeover in the US, where christianity is the religion they’ve picked.

                  The groups you mentioned, the point of my post, most likely changed to christianity as they want to align with what white supremacy has choosen as the white supremacy religion.

                  Your example with arab supremacy makes no sense, because there is no arab supremacy in the US making islam their religion.

                  Its whataboutism where there isnt even the subject of the whatabout.

                  I’m talking about people that absolutely are not racist, they are some of the few in society that stood up to religious norms in a time when they where ostrasized for it. They where simply against religion and fought against it. I want them to fight the powers that be again.

                  If they arent racist, why the switch to religion? I truly don’t get what you’re trying to get at.

                    There you go again with the “americanization” of all things. Not everything happens in th U.S.

                    Edit: lol. It’s almost as if they heard me. Arab supremacist forces enter Darfur and murdered thousands of civilians in one day. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/29/horrific-violations-arab-nations-slam-rsf-killings-in-sudans-el-fasher

                    If they arent racist, why the switch to religion? I truly don’t get what you’re trying to get at.

                    No, you clearly don’t understand that the white supremacy + religion thing is AMERICAN!

                    I’m talking about all religions as being bad, all of them. Regardless of color of the people. I don’t think you’ve ever experienced true homophobia until you’ve gone to the PROFOUNDLY christian areas south of sahara.
