Hannity, and most “christian’s” religious beliefs go only as far to project pious nationalism and identity. They don’t practice, read, follow, or understand the bible or its content. So it’s all smoke and mirrors anyway. When’s the last time Hannity was in church on a Sunday, confessed, or participated in Ash Wednesday?

Dude Ive been an atheist for like 20 years. I was a teenager when Hitchens, Dawkins, and Harris were huge. I have far more respect for religion than evangelicals.

Isn’t it funny to try and explain that you can respect someone’s faith but not share it.
Evangelicals won’t reciprocate your respect as someone who doesn’t believe in the supernatural.

Yeah I went to Sunday school growing up, read the entire Bible, and even took courses on it in college. Its not a lack of knowledge that makes me not believe but instead too much.

My hope is that current events don’t turn people further from religion, but back to it. Not the farce that is American christian nationalism. But honest, truthful, world embracing unity and peace, which is what religion is actually about.

a majority of Men are generally subservient to “great men”- and pathetically kowtow hero worship.
The story of the world, and thus the best stories, involve proud men getting slapped across the face by someone they see as a superior and not doing shit.
Remove religion from equation and some new “influence” viewed as more intelligent, successful, virile or knowledgeable will fill the void immediately.
Religion simply provides the historical frame work for the men in the hierarchy to make abject submission by men more justifiable to women. Why does Hannity need a Pope when he has a Trump creating a schema for him to profit under

It comes up every time. I think that Protestants are the worst about it. Their view is that all you have to do to be forgiven for any sin is to ask forgiveness. You can act like a total prick your whole life but ask forgiveness right before you die and make it to heaven. What difference do your actions really make then?

I’ve been baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Church. I think it’s all bullshit, I’m not a believer.
However, I do think that some of the values have made me and others into the people that we are. There’s good stuff there, I like parts of it as a way to live *my life*, but I have no business telling others how to live theirs.

Same for me, also went to nine years of Catholic school, no longer a believer. I have found the Catholic families who belonged to our school and church to be pretty awesome people. Normal, relaxed, easy with a laugh, not interested in proselytizing or wearing their faith like a giant neon sign (unlike some other religions).
Also, I was in eighth grade when the NUNS told us the truth about Adam and Eve and Noah's Ark etc, that it's all stories and none of it was true.

Organized religion especially in the US seems to be an enormous problem. I agree that there are plenty of denominations that provide good oversight over their power structure and the communities they foster.
But often those power structures are corrupted, they protect their own power rather than protecting community members. Even to the point of protecting people who break their own ethical rules and laws.
Religious groups without power structures appear to be even more vulnerable to unethical, power hungry, greedy individuals who are happy to use religion as a cover for their own personal gains.

In the US, conservative Christians are conservative first, Christian a *very* distant second.
It's nothing more than an identity marker, a call sign to signal that they are part of the tribe. All you have to do is identify as it and hate the same people they do. All those pesky commandments and "love thy neighbor" stuff is irrelevant.

They are also very exclusive. I had a neighbor that only invited me to her house when she thought I was a Christian. When she realized I was Catholic, she stopped talking and inviting me. Definitely love thy neighbor.

I am responding as though the Bible is 100% true.
David v. Goliath is Old Testament and not the gospels. There are significant teachings in the gospels that contradict many of the teachings in the Old Testament. These were the words of Jesus.
As for Hannity, 12 years of Catholic Church is likely 12 years of CEO (Christmas & Easter Only) church. My bias against Hannity is the same for any Christian or wannabe Christian who twist the words of the Bible to fit their agenda.
Or use movie scripts and claim them to be from the Gospel of Ezekiel which there is no gospel of Ezekiel. There is the book of Ezekiel. Externally a subtle difference but definitely not a Gospel.

Thanks to the stupid way our elections work, more like a slight plurality of people who bothered to vote in a single of the three times he ran. Across the three elections, his opponents netted 8m more votes than he did. Yet he won two of those three because American electoral institutions are dumb and voters who don't bother to show up even dumber.

People like this make it clear that religion is just a tool to be used by the powerful to support their agenda. It’s otherwise a completely unnecessary appendage from our primitive past. Even for those who believe in a god or any creator why even bother with a religion? Seems like a pointless middle man.

Klannity’s right wing views clashed with some of Catholicism’s stances on things like immigration. And now he hates the pope for preaching peace and going against Trump. Religion is simply used as something to confirm your own biases, not something that teaches you about morality.

The Catholic community has been taken over in a sense by white Christian nationalists who are Trump loving worshiping right wing FOX watching propaganda lovers.
