About

This is the official Lemmy for the r/ReligiousCringe***** subreddit. This is a community about poking fun at the religious fundamentalist's who take their religion a little bit too far. Here you will find religious content that is so outrageous and so cringeworthy that even someone who is mildly religious will cringe.

Rules

  1. All posts must contain religious cringe. All posts must be made from a religious person or must be showcasing some kind of religious bigotry. The only exception to this is rule 2

  2. Material about religious bigots made by non-bigots is only allowed from Friday-Sunday EST. In an effort to keep this community on the topic of religious cringe and bigotry we have decide to limit stuff like atheist memes to only the weekends.

  3. No direct links to religious cringe. To prevent religious bigots from getting our clicks and views directs links to religious cringe are not allowed. If you must a post a screenshot of the site or use archive.ph. If it is a YouTube video please use a YouTube frontend like Piped or Invidious

  4. No Proselytizing. Proselytizing is defined as trying to convert someone to a particular religion or certain world view. Doing so will get you banned.

  5. Spammers and Trolls will be instantly banned. No exceptions.

Okay legit I have traumatic history with religion, but people's right to be retarded is as important than any other right

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.
