a brief primer on atheism and racism.
as an atheist, and a new convert with all the requisite new convert zeal and all, i think your religion, yours, that one right there that you are so fond of, is full (if i am familiar with it) or is probably full (if i am not familiar with it) of sexist, racist, disablist, probably homophobic and transphobic crap and how did i almost forget classism, either in its core beliefs or in its general practice.
(you may or may not believe in those particular core beliefs, you may or may not follow the general practice. that's a whole different discussion, and as for what i think about *you*, i'm not willing to have that discussion over the internet.)
does this mean it's okay to point out the parts where religion leads to social injustices by focusing on the religions mostly followed by brown people?
NO. no it fucking well does not. in fact, it is racist to do so.
