I grew up in small town Oklahoma, one of my favorite teachers in Jr. High was let go for plainly stating evolution was fact, i had another teacher that would answer questions she was too ignorant to understand with 'its God's will'...

I see some childhood friends that never escaped the prison of that culture posting on facebook- posting smug feel-good religious memes and bible quotes, while praising Trump's actions... Pro-life, but not even flinching when toddlers are killed in their name.

For the vast majority of them religion isn't about becoming a better person, its an excuse to treat others as inferior, immoral, unworthy.
