To this day, have not heard from those I considered my "ride or die" nor family. When they tell you what you mean to them, believe them. I am very soon to be 65. It is what it is. Out here building community that I choose now.
I’ve never made friends with people who want to erase my existence in the first place. Now, there’s an entire redneck asshole branch of my family to whom I will never speak again, but no great loss there. Their idea of a trip to an exotic location is Disney World or Talladega for a race.
Substitute the word family for friends, too. It’s sad, as my family was small to begin with, but I’ve never felt stronger. Not righteous, just stronger.
Not a religious person, but an applicable quote -
“And if your right hand offends you, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.”
That’s like someone being shocked and saying you’re dumping your nazi friends because they are okay with concentration camps?!? Monster! Shame on you. You did right.
Morals can be non religious. It can be of social norm related. The most common example is sex works. This also depends on where you are from as well. Ethic is more like demeanor. Both is arguable so it's a agree to disagree kind of thing.
Technically, you're right, but with the common connotation being what it is AND all of the baggage that comes with, why even take the chance of being misconstrued/tainted by religious goonery? Use ethics/ethical in place of & make a subtle statement 😊
How can you remain friends with anyone who voted to take away our rights and freedoms? Clearly those people will be the ones who tell them where you are hiding to save themselves.
Character, morals, principles, integrity, ethics - these are the things by which I judge everything. Politics is just a weirdly used word, like I find patriot and Christian to be, of late!

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

Dropping nazi that infiltrated the acquaintance circle, easy peasy
If you want things to be better for future generations, if you want equality & liberty for all; you are a friend.
If you think an absolute hierarchy is essential to society, and that certain people should suffer due to their "inherent" inferiority...
Then you are not.
