I’ve been exposed to many good people who are Christians. I just don‘t


think being members of a religious organization is why they’re good people.

Again, I’ve known plenty of people who were not raised religious but found Christianity because they wanted to find an outlet to do good, others who were simply raised in one faith or another and are good, some who were major fuckups or drug addicts and found religion as a more positive replacement for their old habits, and a lot of people who are just flawed human beings and belong to X, Y, or Z.

But I’ve also known plenty of downright shitty people, including racists, bigots, homophobes, misogynists, bullies, assholes, etc. who are members of those same organizations and I don’t really award anyone character points based on whether or not they belong to a church.

Same could be said about aethists, I’m sure.
