Disenfranchising women is extremely important for authoritarian religious regimes. It's honestly the number one priority. The particular faith or what it teaches don't matter.
Big_Deetz t1_j1ebwwq wrote
Less people with power means less groups to appease to concentrate power.
You want to disenfranchise a lot of groups. The more active powerful groups, the less able a government can control people. That includes minorities, LGBTQ people, the disabled, any smaller religious groups, etc. Women are no 1 though as that takes away half right off the bat.

There's a saying, I'm not saying it's entirely true but there is probably some truth to it.
'With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.' ~Steven Weinberg
I know a few people who I think are genuinely trying to be helpful, but are just hurtful because of religion. If they didn't have some institution telling them to have these feelings about certain issues I don't know if they would take the stance they are.
I do get your point that it's probably the people running these organizations that are bad more so than the religion, but at the same time the people following it are doing so in the name of religion. Also if you actually read the old testament, which a lot of people still follow, there's some fucked up shit in it (there's some fucked up shit in the new testament too just not as much).
Tbf, there are probably many people who do actually good and productive things solely because of religion as well.
WillUmbrellaYou t1_j1e3drz wrote
I guess there is some truth to that quote and I never really thought about it that way. Its a pretty interesting take. I personally have lived my entire life in a muslim country but I wasnt really religious. My actions certainly didnt show religion. It was after I got out of the muslim country and came to live in the west that I started to take my religion seriously. Take that as you will.

Probably because religion is one thing that unites people and you were more susceptible to that when you moved to a foreign society. We all need a safe base and that was yours.
WillUmbrellaYou t1_j1f6wbn wrote
That is actually a reason I have considered quite a lot. Faith is absolutely a reason for unity and that sense of unity is definitely scarce when abroad but I believe theres more to it.
rickdeckard8 t1_j1fdxvi wrote
Well, I’ve stayed in my safe area all my life and don’t need any religion now or before. Religion is good for uniting groups but is the biggest obstacle for different groups to come together. Just use probability. If there have been thousands of religions throughout mankind and there really is something more than what we can observe all but one religion must be just storytelling. Really not great odds for just one’s specific religion to be the correct one.

I enjoy going to church because it’s a place for contemplation and it tries to bring out the best in people. But I don’t believe the “story” behind it. And having different religions in the same place is one of the largest reasons for poor integration in my country. So in my view, religion is good on a personal level but bad on a societal level.
rickdeckard8 t1_j1f50is wrote
Religion really doesn’t need to be a part of it.
Good intentions combined with lack of pragmatism and/or strong ideological beliefs can take down a society in no time. Most of the problems in Sweden right now are not caused by religious people, just good citizens trying to do good things not realizing they were doing things that turned out to be bad because they never worried about consequences. Only intentions mattered.

It's almost as if the interpretation is the problem. Which might as well be the the same as the literal texts.

WillUmbrellaYou t1_j1e0gp0 wrote
Interpretation of course plays a massive role in understanding religion. These books were created at very very different times where taboos today was the norm back then. Setting plays into understanding the story. However that doesnt mean that the message of being kind and good to all and accepting that everyone is different for a reason and that is for humans to learn to co exist is very clear and almost needs no interpretation. The way I see it In islam is that its not the humans right to declare another human an enemy of God and its not the humans right to enforce islam or its ideologies on another but simply give advice. I refuse to accept that just because someone is causing harm falsely in the name of Islam that I should deem the religion in a negative image.
FarmhouseFan t1_j1e1tr5 wrote
The human race exists because of programmed morality. My ENTIRE life, not a single member of my family, going back to my grandparents on both sides ever spent a single day in church. I don't need a god to tell me how to behave. I've got it covered. Religion came about to explain the things we couldn't explain ourselves, then it became a threat, used entirely to control.
Humans wrote these texts that say for us to be kind and good, because that's how normally functioning humans work on a regular day to day basis, by default. They were not given to us.
Religion should not govern in the 21st century. Full stop.
WillUmbrellaYou t1_j1e2rq8 wrote
I agree, Religion should not be used to govern masses. To me religion is a means for people to express their faith in a deeper meaning to life. Of course meaning to life is different for everyone and theres no real tangible definition. Humans were born with the gift of imagination for a reason.
FarmhouseFan t1_j1e40y6 wrote
Yeah, then the ones imagining a world that they think should be the last word on civilization stop at nothing to obtain power, all because of religion. Go ahead and keep telling yourself romantic fairy tales about religion. The hard truth is it deepens divides more than brings us together. We keep ourselves in echo chambers because our book seems better than others. It's just tribalism. It was necessary in our formative years but it's time to let the scientific and trial and error phase of humanity begin. Our potential as a species is incredible, perhaps limitless. The earth, if we truly loved and nurtured it, can easily sustain us until the sun turns in to a red giant and engulfs the planet in roughly 5 billion years. Maybe jesus or whoever will save us though, right?

At the risk of coming off like an Edgy Atheist Redditor (sorry in advance) - how do you conflate the idea that Islam is about being kind, good and supportive of co-existence, when Islam is the world religion that is most against co-existence? Ex-Muslims, religious minorities, the LGBT+ community, even just women co-existing with men.
In one of your other comments you said that you're practicing your religion more seriously since you moved to a western country. I'm happy that you're able to do so. But I doubt any same-sex couple (among many, many other marginalised groups) moving to a Muslim country would be able to say the equivalent. So many people have to flee Muslim countries in order to live their lives safely and without persecution, but I've never heard of anyone fleeing to one from the west for the same reason.
WillUmbrellaYou t1_j1fbo1b wrote
There are a lot of muslim countries where societies of different faiths co-exist and those people are usually just fine with how things are. Im not saying these societies or countries are perfect. Im sure people there go through bouts of shitty things. Women as well have to deal with things men dont have to deal with. So there are issues that you bring up. Im not denyng that. However, its definitely not to the point where co-existing is not possible or favorable. People of different minorities and their quality of life depends on the ideologies of the leaders. Thats why Im not with religion being the basis for government. Either way the arabic world is westernizing at a very fast pace coupled with social media and with that the slow erosion of the issues you mentioned. When it comes to the LGBT+ matter its different from faith and honestly I dont know a right answer. Of course the way theyre treated is horrible. Its not easy for someone in my position to discuss this specific thing cuz I dont really have it all figured out. Theres the side of my faith that expresses explicitly the catastrophe that fell upon followers of this path. I don’t know what its like to be in their shoes so i wouldnt even call it following a path. All I know is that the modern solution is not simple or known but that some tolerance should be given.

I can see you haven’t actually read the Qaran. It’s not accepting of differences, and it does mandate imposing Islam on everyone. That’s why Sharia exists, which is a system of Islamic law which everyone has to abide by, and it has special punishments for non-believers which they call “infidels.”

I mean, its possible to be against abortion for moral reasons, but morality, unlike ethics, is inextricably entangled in religion. So if they're against abortion for moral reasons, they are by definition opposed to abortion for religious reasons. Of course most Americans in my experience (and I am one) don't seem to know the definition of most words related to morality, ethics, religion, and politics, so its not that surprising. Half the country can't tell the difference between Social Democracy and Fascism, two diametrically opposed political philosophies.

Because Reddit skews heavily towards people from the West and/or Atheists, especially men. Blaming Islam lets Westerners pretend Christianity and Judaism haven't done the same shit, and blaming religion lets Atheist men pretend religion is the problem instead of misogyny (which exists without religion and arguably came first).
I'm an Atheist woman, so I can tell you right now men can and will be absolutely shitty to women without religion, they just find a different set of excuses to justify it.
Meanwhile, a lot of the subcomponents of liberal democracy - which is what mitigates how much cultural bias becomes or remains law - came out of religious tradition (i.e. universal literacy/education), or were organized in religious contexts (i.e. various civil rights movements using churches as bases of organization).

This is just objectively untrue. Christianity is the most shit on religion on Reddit by a very big margin. Just check r/Atheism. This is because it's the religion that affects the lives of Redditors the most especially now after all this Trump Qanon shit. Also most say the problem absolutely is misogyny which is rooted in religion.

One must be living under a rock if they can't see its increase is because of it. Just like now what happens with Taliban. What happens in Iran. Iran used to be more secular. With the current leadership it has very opressive laws. Look at America. What do you think the Republican utopia would look like? Claiming these mysogynist stuff don't happen because of religion is so out of touch with reality. If religion went away of course mysogyny wouldn't go away but sure as hell there wouldn't be a mandatory hijab law and access to education.
Atheists aren't blaming mysogyny in nordic countries on religion because it is not because of it. They blame it on religion where religion affects it.

Check out Gary Willis if you haven’t. He talks about the value of Women in Islam. Specifically talks about the two women equivalence to men. Just interested in your thoughts. Misogyny is rooted to the very core of man nature and im sorry for that.
Edit: couple extra thoughts; Misogyny probably stems from greed, lust, and envy. These trait are in both genders. However men have physical strength over women while women have (i dont really know the term so imma call it magic) over men but that same magic is whats pushing men to use their physical strength. My question is why is that our design. Islam actually tells us that the internally peaceful human is that which doesnt give in to desire and the one that does is filled with chaos and conflict and in a sense same is true about misogyny.

Afghanistan has a population of 39 Million people yet the article says “more than a dozen” and “several” male students have walked out. The degree of control the Taliban has over its population is staggering. Whereas limited demonstrations in the West are amplified by the media and get significant coverage. The effect of a small demonstration in Afghanistan is inconsequential. The only pressure that can be exerted on the Taliban is on its allies to try and remediate their behavior.

There are only a few thousand university faculty left in the entire country, though. And the ones that are left were the only ones who were otherwise willing to tolerate teaching under the Taliban when they took over. So that magnifies the consequence of this action.
