I feel like we're lacking the initial message here, the religious person was responding to.
Throwing that priest rape strawman at the end, is a rhetorical tool, but clearly is not addressing whatever the religious person was talking about. So this shit post is disingenuous, and a logical fallacy what about ism.
If we're going to deconstruct people's positions, we should at least be honest about it, and give the original context
The religious person made a pretty black and white comment. Maybe there is a lot of nuance in the context, but this comment has no nuance itself. It's going from whatever context to making a general comment on the lack of religion and what it does to morality.
They said " That's what lack of religion does to people"... So we're missing the does in this context. We don't know what they're actually trying to say.
They did say it: "there is no moral anchor anymore."
