Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fuck all Abrahamic religions.
Fuck religion, not sure why you need to qualify that.
Im not a fan of religion but there are certainly some that dont have a track record of harm and seem to bring great solace to practitioners
The problem is not judaism or any other abrahamic religion, but zionism, which is a a ethno-religious supremacist ideology not inherent to judaism.
Unfortunately we have seen many instances throughout history of ethno-religious supremacist ideology, specifically around abrahamic beliefs. Would removing such belief systems from society remove all hate and violence, of course not. But I'd argue that we would be in a better place as a society. Maybe if we weren't trying to prove whose god was more right or whose belief was more righteous we could have a more just, loving, and peaceful society.
This kind of new atheist rhetoric is a distraction at best.
The actual problem is zionism.
Why not both?
Zionism being a problem doesn't mean actual organized religions (not idealized theoretical ones that don't exist) aren't a problem.
because it's not the problem here. acting like this has anything to do with either religion is ignoring history and colonialism apologia. whether your statement is agreeable in a vacuum is irrelevant. this is like if someone said "acab" after the George Floyd case and you going "also fuck counterfeit bills".
but of course no one has passed the internet atheist shut the fuck up about your hangups for a goddamn second challenge so i don't really blame you in particular.
One group risks their lives to break a genocidal blockade.
Another tortures them for it.
Both are the same?
Organize religion has problems, however it must be malleable to change, while headstrong in cores. Something impossibly hard to balance and the crux of most religions.
Zionism is specifically the issue when it comes to religious conversation. The genealogical aspect and nationalistic ideals are brazenly the festering issue in every country. Ego from greatness misunderstood. Christianity being pretty mainstream brought a 'everyone is invited' vibe that is just unmatched.
I care to ask how would you solve the major issues you do notice with organized religion? Scripture that condenses the eternal soul is hard to make. Daily ritual is my main thoughts but going too far into ritual removes the knowledge of why things are done. Gatherings are crucial as good and evil only exist when there are two or more.
New kind is funny af like this site isn't former reddit refugees
they didn't say new kind, they said new atheist. which is a special kind of atheist who makes atheism their entire personality as a reaction to their previous upbringing and tap about religion more than born again evangelicals.
It's so bizarre to see religious people fighting for the lives and dignity of their brothers and sisters abroad greater with the same scorn as zealots inflicting brutality and terror.
Blaming the abuser and the victim in equal measure because they both... what? Hold to a superstition?
Kiss a four leaf clover before you lay down your life to break a genocidal blockade and suddenly you're no better than a mass murderer.
