The Dark Ages didn't go away. The practices of persecution, book banning, and shaming never went anywhere. We only need to look at what the Catholics have done to indigenous people around the world. They tortured children here and in Canada far into the 20th Century; the bodies are still being unearthed to this day.

Organized religion up-ended my childhood in a horrible way. Elders tried to use me when they excommunicated my mother. Hateful. Rotten. Men.
The Bible is written by men for men. The Koran? The Torah? Buddhism? Hinduism? No updates folks; they are still in the Dark Ages about women. Thankfully not all men believe this rot! No wonder regarding religion young people are choosing to say hell no!
WE deserve better than the Republicans' archaic way of thinking, especially about women's bodies and health care. Keep calling them out, Thom, and we will help you.
The family unit and religions that require faith have stopped the evolution of the human race, so they never will go away unless we exorcise them!
