Inspired by some of the discussion in this thread. I don't think it's appropriate place for that discussion there, but hey why not have a separate thread for it

If I think religion is not good in general, am I Reddit and cringe and basically Richard Dawkins?

    That isn't what you said, you asked if others think themselves better than people who are wrong

    Do you consider yourself better than the masses? Most of them are not marxists, so are wrong about a lot of things

    Right here

    What is your point if not to say that no value judgment ("better than") can be made against those sections of the masses with backwards views ("Most of them are not marxists, so are wrong about a lot of things")? You're not better than a fascist, simply because the masses include fascists? That's tailism my friend

      Ok, I see the issue, I think we see the words "consider yourself better than" differently
      To me thinking yourself better than someone is less about ideology and views and more something inherent, as in "This person is lesser because they believe in the wrong god, or worship the same god wrong"
      I apologize for my tone earlier
