Our first allegiance is to our countries.
Our laws and political leanings are moving us towards laïcité, a rather rigid form of the best religious freedoms/ideology, quirky or not, for all. Keep it to yourself will be the order of the day. Happy days. All within a Western style of freedom seeking governance.
Should our backwards thinking mainstream religions be asked to be more representative of good law?
Negative discrimination without a just cause is what Yahweh admits to doing in Job 2;3., when he allowed Satan to move him to sin against Job.
Christians should admit their sin and stop preaching that it is a good to be homophobic and misogynous, contradicting the law of the land.

Why is our first allegiance to our country? What if you live in a country that does terrible things to its citizens?
I have never understood the idea of being "proud" to belong to particular country, I am British but that is just an accident of birth I have done nothing to achieve that state so how can I be proud of it? (I regard many things in Britain to good and sensible, others are just silly, I suspect that will apply to most countries)
As we progress and grow, we go from family allegiance to that of community and country.
Security is usually our number one consideration and the best form of that is in our countries, their police and military.

Are religious practicing traitors,.........no.
At most those practicing might be criminal. Depending on the community probably socially undesirable.
Yet they are all ignored by our law makers.
If our schools dared to do what religious liars are doing, we would act differently.

I think the notion that our first allegiance is to our country is every last bit as throughly morally bankrupt as the notion that we own some allegiance to some contrived god or “savior”.
Yet you shelter under the security it provides you and yours.
Disingenuous that.

It is hard to get worse than Yahweh, but Jesus and his Armageddon genocide might be made into a sequel to Noah.
