May the non religious prosper and the religious kill each other off

If only they wouldn’t take us down with them

Settler colonialism wasn’t a religion last time I checked

Religion is a cancer to humanity. Do you really think this situation would be anywhere close to as violent and abhorrent without religion?

Palestine is being colonized for being a bridge between Asia and Africa, not for any “religious” reasons. Theodor Herzl, founder of the “zionism” was a racist colonizer who saw colonizing Palestine as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:

“We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]

The difference now is that the US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, no longer UK in Europe, hence the US being its main master.

Religions are a consequence of class society and a region’s material conditions. Seeing anything entirely through the lens of religion is not very materialist.

Religion is just an excuse. If there were no religion they’d find something else to justify it with.

And extremely violent, and prone to war crimes. But don’t let that stop Americans from grandstanding and acting like they’re a moral compass, even on this issue
