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?

    But the thing is that you poke into "cultural Christianity" a little bit and it falls apart instantly, the same way that whiteness does.

    There's very little tying some of the most Christian regions in the world together (like Poland, Italy, the Philippines, Latin America, the US, Russia, all very devout places in very different ways) except for some vague agreement on doctrine and dogma, and not even that.

    It's always a shorthand for western, european imperialism, because sure as hell they're not thinking about Egyptian coptic Christians when they're identifying with "cultural Christianity"
