I think it's incredibly reductive. I also think you're associating all religion with the Christian mythos.

They all have their own equally magical mythos. And there is nothing wrong with being reductive. Either way it is believing in unfounded nonsense that goes against reality.

The whole point of faith is that it can't be objectively proven. I'm an atheist myself who is outraged by the decision against Roe, so I understand at least in part why you feel the way you do.

Nonetheless it irks me when people go hard against religion and mock it and people who follow it. Let people believe what they want to believe. The actions of overzealous American Christians is not an indictment on all religions everywhere. Let people bask in the comfort and assuredness religion brings them. Attacking it and calling it magic is hateful and unnecessary.

I disagree. Fuck all magical thinking. It is dangerous and is poison to the mind.

It helps a lot of people. It isn't poison to every mind and blanket statements are almost never correct.
