statistically insignificant proportion of global religious
They are still religions. When you say "religion is evil" that includes all religions. If your critique is about the most popular religions (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc) then simply specify that.
I d also question whether American religions are actually all clean.
Certainly saying "all Indigenous American faiths are good" is pretty reductive, there are a lot of them after all. At the same time saying "all religion is bad" includes all indigenous religions and I guarantee the people who say that do not actually know anything about them all.
Religion is a really complicated subject, and anti-theists, by the very nature of being anti-religion, really need to over simplify that extremely complex topic to think that they're right in hating "religion".
Oh I absolutely agree in the necessity of state atheism. Dont get me wrong, Im not advocating for religions maintaining their political structures, I hate christianity mainly because it exists as a political entity. I simply think that Anti-theism is reactionary in its own right, and its far more damaging to faiths that are not politically dominant than ones that are.
