Sounds like you're pissed off because religious people have a right to exist and express themselves.

>None of those things are moral or healthy in a civilized society.

You're talking about a society that has convinced itself that people mutilating their own bodies and engaging in unrestrained hedonism is a healthy thing. A society that is probably a decade or two, (probably less) from making pedophilia an acceptable practice. A society that has already justified the practice of sex with animals in some western nations.

murder, intolerance, slavery, infanticide, misogyny, genocide, incest, homophobia, xenophobia, torture, human sacrifice, sadomasochism, violence, revenge, bigotry

I'll give you homophobia, which is an incredibly new concept, but Christians follow the new testament. Not sure where you get sadomasochism, torture, human sacrifice and bigotry/xenophobia though. Also incest was pretty strictly forbidden in Leviticus, at least when it came to close family.

Also you're making a sweeping generalization that all religions are responsible for all bad things done by every other religion, which is very intellectually dishonest. That'd be like saying atheism is responsible for every evil thing done by atheists.

And seriously, Christian Rock? That's as bad a the Westboro Baptist church? (which is considered a cult) Were you just filling space?

I'm sorry you blame every bad thing in human history on religious people. Maybe it's time you let go of some of that hatred and try to find some joy in life?

Huge generalization not accounting for the diversity of beliefs and valuesi n religious communities

>People who think there is a god have no objective method to read any holy book just like they have no objective method that can be used to say how all the other religions besides their one favorite religion are wrong.

Not accurate, that's the assumption that everyone believes what they read with no critical thinking skills. Many religious people many religious people rely on historical and literary analysis, theological reasoning, and communal traditions to understand their religious texts.

>For people who care about what is true in reality the evidence needs to meet the whole of the claims being made and there are only bad reasons to accept god claims. I care too much that the people who I'm forced to share this planet with hold true in reality beliefs. We do not live in private bubbles, the people who take what are supposedly the most important questions and claim god did it with magic - vote, indoctrinate children and most are in a death cult that make them hate and claim other people not in their cults are sub human.

Not supported by evidence. There are always extremists that hold these views but many others follows scientific reasoning and tolerance and love for others.

>The god believers can't keep their religions to themselves.

Neither can atheists, but religious people don't normally seek out to insult and attack anyone who shares their faith, even if they disagree with it.

>They are also more anti-science/ anti-vax during a pandemic.

You mean the science that turned out to be dead wrong and the vax that wasn't really a vax?

>The religious moderates act as protection for the people who take their not moderate compatible religions seriously and who know their holy books best. Those being more honest to the texts are doing much real-life harm and are trying to take away others legal rights.

We generally don't care what others do with their lives, just when it starts to hit close to home, like showing porn to children and making them question their sexuality, which is what Christians said would happen 10 years ago.

Hobby lobby didn't want to pay for women's contraceptives, which is totally reasonable. It's bullshit that any company would have to provide something like that. It's a private issue that the government and businesses should stay out of.
