Sure but I’m not really interested in playing whataboutism games when we are talking about two different types of make believe.

Then don’t try to paint one as somehow more respectable? Or better yet just don’t respond to a comment if you don’t want to follow a side conversation? What a weird reply

I definitely think witchcraft is more respectable than Christianity, I wasn’t trying to paint it otherwise and I don’t see how you could take what I said as that. But whatever if you’re mad at me just cast a curse on me or whatever and I won’t hold it against you.

Sorry I thought you were the other person re painting prayer as more respectable. Still no idea what the point of your whataboutism bullshit was though. You also seem to think I believe in witchcraft, which I don’t. I just don’t give a shit about witchcraft because they aren’t hurting anyone, and the least dangerous Christian is still lending momentum to the Christian nationalists.

Sure. Doesn’t make them not stupid as hell; it just makes their beliefs less corrosive to society. I can imagine they’d be extremely toxic if they had widespread public support, but probably still not nearly as much as “I commune with an all-powerful sky daddy whose word is ultimate law that divides people between everlasting bliss and everlasting suffering and I can choose to believe whatever that word is” like Abrahamic religions.

Sure. I think anything that encourages people to believe things that they want to instead of because they’re true opens the way for them to apply that blind faith in other things that matter more, like politics. I do think organized religion is a bit worse because it also teaches subservience to undeserved authority.
Anyway, in the end, I’m waaay more worried about the one that is organized and has power than the people that aren’t bothering anybody and my opinions will reflect that.
