My first loyalty is manifestly NOT to my country.
I’d be uncomfortable if religious people were to be discouraged from expressing their views freely and openly. But I disagree that that’s where things are headed.
I think you can ask religious groups whatever you want, I don’t think they should be coerced into giving you the answers you’re looking for.
The Job story is allegorical.
What other forms of free speech would you like to curtail?
Boru
The speech of those who advocate for an anti-blasphemy law to end criticism of the vile gods.
The mainstream religions have used inquisitions and jihads to grow due to lack of decent moral tenets.
They do not, or at least did not believe in freedom of speech as they denied it to us for 1,000 years of Dark Ages.
Religions still would silence truth, as evidenced by their demonstrable lies.

I never said religious oppression was good or admirable or acceptable. What you asked was are religions that advocate things that are misogynistic or anti-gay treasonous. The answer is ‘not necessarily’. Suppose a country subjugates women and outlaws homosexuality. A religion that preaches in favour of those things would be patriotic, not treasonous.
