Does a Catholics community really belong here? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I don't want to be the judge here or anything. Just wondering if a religious sub belongs in an instance with nothing anti-science as a rule. If its fine by everyone and the admin, its fine by me. I'd just block the community. Just felt wrong to see a Catholicism community in local.

I won't go down voting the community or anything, we've got enough of those people here

Honestly, I don’t think we should restrict communities just because they are based on religion. If they run afoul of behavioral rules, that’s one thing, but plenty of our members ascribe to some sort of religion personally and don’t cause problems.

I am a Thelemite and have thought about moving that community here since I don’t use my world account much. I think it would suck if I wasn’t allowed to do that even though the community would not be breaking any stated rules.

I wholeheartedly agree, but most people are quick to restrict opinions that go against their own, so communities like these are going to have a very hard time coming to life on instances like these (to say nothing of the instance, i love it here)
