I wasn't implying that the sensible practices are in any way superior to just doing similar non-religious practices, they're not. It's just the same thing with a load of spirituality nonsense bolted on.
Ok, sorry.
Some in the west will be scathing about every other religion, but pick on Buddhism, they too don't see the mistake they make. It isn't just enough to go after the biggest trouble makers. And the bullshit of "Most dont" while true, that is not the argument atheists should fall for. It only takes enough, in any religion, even a minority, to divide humans or hold a population hostage. The left gets the empathy right, the left of all religions, where they fail is that they do not understand that the right of all religions are still the same label using the same writings.
