I'm starting to think that a lot of #atheist #leftist misunderstand #religion. I went to church today. It wasn't amazing but I did enjoy it. I think that religion, especially in the west, largely isnt about faith anymore. I enjoyed going to church because I saw people I knew, I saw people I didn't. There was music.

It was a reason to gather.

@finnbar_m @leftism @atheism
While the social and communal aspects of religious gatherings can be enjoyable, they don't negate the harmful effects of religious beliefs and institutions. The positive experiences of community and music can exist outside of religion without the need for supernatural beliefs, and the enjoyment of social gatherings doesn't address the validity of religious claims or the potential harm caused by religious teachings.
