    I’m not apathetic about religious people because unfortunately they continue to occupy positions of authority in our society.

    If religious people were actually dismissed in the way you describe I could understand your perspective. They are not mocked liked this though and are very much taken seriously.

      But you’re not talking about that, you’re mocking an individual for being religious.

        They are not mocking them for being religious. They are mocking their advice about logic, which comes from a religious person.

        Because you know, religion & logic don’t go hand in hand.

      No need to pick on religious people in this case. There are plenty of people with various character flaws in positions of power / authority.

      If religious people were actually dismissed in the way you describe I could understand your perspective. They are not mocked liked this though and are very much taken seriously.

      • any comedy movie that involves a religious character
