What about how religion encroaches on civil rights? Modern example; gay rights. What about all the horrible things done IN THE NAME of religion? When was the last time you heard of a mass cleansing in the name of atheism?

In what way does religion encroach on gay rights?

I don't approve of homosexuality, but I don't disapprove of the homosexuals themselves. Read what I wrote before, it's not the PERSON that's the issue, it's their sin, some people are just more repulsed by it than they are by other sins. The Bible calls it an abomination, but doesn't call the PERSON an abomination.

I'm sure this is a lot for you to grasp though.

Also, the modern "church" is not Jesus, it's not God, in fact in a lot of ways it's a terrible misrepresentation of God and His love.

There are a lot of bigots masquerading as Christians, don't be fooled. People hide behind "religion" but look at Jesus, He went into the church and turned it upside down because the "church" was hosting gambling and games. Jesus wasn't even approved by the "church" in fact it was the "church" who wanted Jesus crucified...
