20 dead in Orlando gay club shooting

...we used to have a very homophobic atheist around the boards. He claimed to be unnatural to be gay yada, yada, yada. Fortunately, he stopped posting on his own.

I've seen this myself. Religion doesn't add anything to our beliefs or attitudes other than making them "sacred." People have been coming up with stupid, specious, bullshit metaphysics for millennia (and still are), and most of it has been forgotten, except for the stupid, specious bullshit that won the battle for religious orthodoxy. 

And likewise with bigotry. You can find misogynistic men whose masculinity is threatened by homosexuality anywhere, even among atheists. All religion does is take toxic attitudes like that and by fiat confer upon them the status of moral justification.
