    What a completely ignorant statement. Just because people posses negative views of religion doesn’t mean “no one wants to hear about”. How about actually disproving and arguing with good faith instead of posting such a meaningless ignorant comment?

      Because I go on Lemmy for the news and for uplifting discussion. Many of my beliefs, such as kindness, compassion, and personal growth do not cause a stir here.
