    Doesn’t work. USSR murdered and prisoned both religious people and gay people alike. The answer is not being a fucking cockwomble, which is admittedly more easily done if you’re an atheist, but by no means is a guarantee.

      agreed! but the path to not being a cockwomble aligns pretty well with the goals of a reason based, humanitarian, secular society.

      if you don’t agree, what’s your path towards our common goal?

        Don’t think you solve the problem of intolerance with bigotry towards religious people.

        The article doesn’t mention anything about the group of men being religious, you’re just using this as an opportunity to attack religion because that’s something you hate.

        Hatred doesn’t solve anything.
