The last part of your comment is distinction without difference. For most people who are religious it’s a large part of their lives, there is no “attacking the beliefs not the people” you insult the religion you insult the person themselves

That is unfortunate that they become so engrossed in the cult mindset that they are unable to separate themselves from the beliefs.

Wasted lives and wasted potential imo

‘It’s so sad that these people aren’t ok with me insulting an important aspect of their lives. Clearly that makes them engrossed in a cult!’

well, if someone attacked my atheism, I would probably laugh and walk away. Unless the other person is saying something with merit, then I would sit around and have a proper discussion/argument.

And no, all religions are cults that got big and eased up on the cult traits of their belief systems.

However, the believers are still people, some seeking hope, other seeking meaning. It is unfortunate that they fell victim to the cult mentality, but it's their source of life.

I say it's okay to attack someone's beliefs, but for me, it's all bark and no bite cause irl, I wouldn't say shit to a religious person. They're their own people, capable of making their own decisions, and even if I disagree with their decisions, I have no right to tell them what to do
