You know this problem is not going away until people recognize the root cause is christianity, right?

Don't believe me, try asking a few priests to "accurately" tell you about Americas history and how the bible was used to justify slavery.

IMO the motivation is power and greed. Everything else is a tool they've used to achieve that. Just like Moms for Liberty is astroturf to make something dangerous seem benign.

I don't know if this book is real without more research, but I have heard the premise before and largely agree. As an atheist myself, I find all religions to be a tool for the powerful to keep everyone else under their control. Religion is indeed a powerful tool.
