Let's burn down their churches. They are a waste of space and energy. Being heated and powered 24/7 for only a day or two of worship services is incredibly frustrating, especially when there's a church on every block (in my location, at least).

Let's build libraries and community centers and low-cost daycare centers on that land instead.

No need to burn a perfectly good building when you can just repurpose it..

It's a church. The enemy lives within. Better purge it from evil before reusing it. /S

Edinburgh is great inspiration for that

You’re projecting. Are you going to add synagogues and mosques to your list of targets? You’ll notice they never interview the pastors of school shooters, talking about how devout they are. Instead you hear about how their associates were afraid of them and how they were known hurt animals.

Synagogues and mosques are at most 1 per middle sized city. Churches are in the tens, and are basically in every shithole imaginable. Comparing numbers from 2021, churches outnumber mosques ~1:150 (2 800 vs 380 000).

Based on your numbers, if it were determined that the person who burned down the clinic were Muslim, would you burn down a few churches anyway? How about we just not use arson as a tool to attack those we disagree with, even rhetorically.

I just presented the numbers, but I totally would reduce churches in the US. Modern Christianity is a stain on the the face of earth.
