Not My Baby Jesus

The idea that religion or belief in religion makes someone a good person is nonsense. There, we said it. It’s like boozers or potheads. Whether someone drinks too much or smokes too much weed isn’t what makes them a good or bad person. What makes a good or bad person is how people treat each other. That’s it. Nobody, religious or otherwise, has a monopoly on goodness. It’s just not a thing that’s true. How we treat each other, and how we take care of others as well as ourselves, is the measure of the goodness in humanity, and right now, a lot of folks are ticking boxes in the ‘not good’ category.
