Ignore religion, but tax the churches.

Watching Fox News and looking at Libs of TikTok Facebook page is not research.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If you make a claim and don't back it up, expect people to be skeptical.

Do you say it' not happening? If that's what you're saying, I'll show my evidence and you show me yours.
