Are religions that preach inequality for women and gays, traitors to their country?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Insomuch as the religious have become an impotent bunch of crybabies - there are other causes and things more important than-that which may be damaged by the political cost of taking a hard(er) stand against whatever abuse that theism is still capable of afflicting which we haven't yet legislated out of existence.

I dream of a world with endless religions - none of them theistic - but I'd settle first for a living wage.  Priorities.

An impotent bunch of crybabies who are preventing the basic living wage you want by their misogynistic teachings.

If your wife or daughter is the average, she will give up half a million in total life income due to what some think is an impotent force.

That impotent force has it's hand in your pocket as we speak.

I feel it pushing my dick aside to get at my cash. Do You?

You hear so little about it in the media because atheists, in a very real and pragmatic sense, do NOT have the high moral ground. The high moral ground is whatever the moralists - in this case, religionists - say it is. 

Humanists are a political force (albeit not a particularly potent one), atheists not so much.

I do not sell atheism so short.

The one who told the archetypal Emperor he had no clothes was an atheist.

Or even a cut above, a Gnostic Christian.

It isn’t a case if selling atheism short, it’s a simple matter of demographics. There are simply not enough atheists in most countries to be a viable political force. In the US, for instance, the number of ‘confirmed atheists’ is generally estimated to be about 7% of the population. This is paltry compared to the number of religionists. Couple that with the generally low voter turnout in the US and the political potency of the atheist community is essentially nil.

The Green Party have a better chance at seizing the reins of power than does The Atheist Coalition For A Better Tomorrow.
