Honestly.
That's why it's terrifying as a non-religious person when people ask me how I have a morality if I don't believe in God.
I'm sorry, you're saying that the ONLY thing preventing you from raping, killing, and pillaging is a magical invisible sky daddy who might punish you if you're bad?

Even southern baptist churches are leaving the SBC because the convention prefers preaching anti-woke/DEI than getting rid of the sex pests preaching that shit
Nothing, I do what I want. But what I want is generally stuff that's beneficial or kind for me & others. Is that not how it is for you?

I more align as a satanist because they teach do the right thing because it's the right thing. Help people because it is inheritently good not because of some possibility of reward.

While principally it applies to religion I believe the same thinking
1/2
Basically I see a huge overlap between religious thinking/faith and fascists/other cults of personality.
2/2
"The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what's to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero."
I didn't say "every religious person"
I said "when someone confronts me about my non-religiosity and how I can have a sense of morality" there's an implicit statement that it's not something that happens all the time.
