      That’s all fine and dandy till half your legislature disregards reality and supplements it with misogynistic sky wizard lore.

        Criminalizing it wouldn’t help though, if anything it’d just validate their persecution fetish. The best we can do (Apart from fighting whatever bullshit legislature they’re trying to push) is simply improve access to education and wait.

      True. I see where people here are coming from, but removing rights is never the answer. Also, morality aside, It wouldn’t even work, on the long run it’d only serve to strengthen religion.

      Really, the only way we can fight the issues religion causes is through education. The more people have access to quality education, the less likely they are to hold extremist views.
