    All of them, huh? So there was never a single group of indigenous peoples of the Americas who ever practised warfare, misogyny, homophobia, and other forms of prejudice in the name of religion? Not even once?

      "That religion was no angel." What is this Reddit tier response?

      Every single Indigenous religion is innocent in the grand scheme of things just like every victim of police murder is innocent in the grand scheme of thing. They don't need to be perfect. It doesn't matter if the victims are petty criminals or smoke meth or refused to pay taxes. They're victims of the pigs and that is enough.

      If you want to shit on Christianity for being behind the genocide of Indigenous peoples, be my guest. But to lump a religion with multiple genocides conducted in its name with the religions of the people being genocided by that same religion is absolutely heinous. Literally the same people trying to say George Floyd shouldn't be mourned because he was a petty criminal.
