72% of Americans have some form of religious belief.

If religious people fuck everything up you are literally surrounded by them.

"Some form" is pretty broad. They may not actually mean all religions, either.

But I don't think that raging against the majority is uncalled for.

There's a difference between raging against the majority, and saying things like "all 72% of the population do is fuck everything up". It's a wonder anything is standing if that was the case.

I mean

It kind of is a wonder anything is standing.

Indeed. Feels like there must be a flawed premise involved...

Without religion, we'd be talking about Epstein right now. REligions come along with the complete lies and just fuck everything up. Every fucking time.

saying things like "all 72% of the population do is fuck everything up"

That's not really what they said, though. Most of that 72% does non-religious stuff most of the time. Imagine how much better things could be if we were less fucked up!

Fuck religion, and the religious. Even you 'good' religious assholes

Sure sounds like they don't care if they do "non-religious stuff most of the time"

Ok.......then we're surrounded by people who fuck up the planet.

Hey, you DO see that humans, and only humans, have fucked this planet up pretty badly, right?

Like we're already past the point of no return for climate change. We can't unfuck the planet.

So why is it hard to believe that the majority of people are huge fuck-ups in life? Including you.

Hey, you DO see that humans, and only humans, have fucked this planet up pretty badly, right?

I never claimed otherwise?

And how helpful is it to scream "fuck humans, all they do is fuck everything up, even the so called good humans fuck you for supporting the humans fucking things up!"

There, have I fixed climate change now?
