Religion does not belong to a Democracy (lemmy.ml)

Religion:

  • You have to Follow the only leader, you shall not have an Opinion, and you must convince everyone to have your opinion

Democracy:

  • Have your own opinion
  • Understand others arguments and find a compromise
  • No Leader

Now why the actual fuck are people still saying that religion is less than a threat to Democracy? Like, everyone who just even mentions that he got their opinion from the bible should get a lifelong unpaid vacation from Europe straight to Dubai.

I think religion(s) is(are) dangerous as well, but you're comparing monotheistic, proselytising/missioning, dogmatic organised religions on the one hand and liberal, antiauthoritarian consensus-based political systems (post-democratic) which have yet to manifest on the other hand.

Given your instance, I'd recommend you to continue your research so that apologetics of both organised religion and authoritarian democracy have a harder time convincing or refuting you.
