      Organized religion is a very useful tool for imperialism and capitalism, and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t

      Evangelical Christianity IS a manifestation of capitalism. It is the culture arm of capitalism.

        It predate capitalism by a thousand year but ok.

        You’re thinking of protestant, it’s not secret that allowing usury meant breaking up from the pope. But even then, religions are theaters of the class war, not only tools for the powerful.

          Christianity predates capitalism. Evangelical Christianity is a much more modern development.

      I don’t recall saying any of these words you’re putting in my mouth. Are you suggesting the people committing these atrocities are not what I say they are?

      Racism literally came from Christianity. It definitely is the problem and creates a framework to allow capitalists/wealthy to take advantage of people.
