Humans also invented sports which give a sense of comfort and enjoyment. Religion provides the same to thing to those that believe. Besides, we are all brainwashed to a certain degree.
I've never understood why people can't understand how religion provides a path for some people through this mystery called life. I mean you can say God is mythical, but that is a really naive statement. From a scientific perspective, we haven't even scratched the surface on our understanding of consciousness. Is God real or not? Who really knows. But to say it's a myth is just silly.
This is a complete falsehood
Nobody denies religious people their right to worship their God. Non-believers are against Christianity when it impinges upon their world. e.g. when hypocritical judgmental bible-bashers try to shove their religion down other people's throats and lecture other people on how to live their lives. This is the big problem with many Christians. If they kept their religious beliefs to themselves, nobody would give a shit. But they're not happy to live their lives, pray to their God and keep it to themselves. That's part of their sickness. They always try to convert others into their cult or preach at them with unsolicited lessons from the bible.
This evangelical behaviour goes right back through history, from the Crusades to missionaries around the world forcing their religion upon indigenous tribes in the New World to the present day where clowns stand on street corners waving their placards and screaming at passers-by. Or just well-meaning outwardly-normal people who can't resist slipping a bit of "Jesus loves you" to vulnerable people who just need someone to talk to.
This is what Israel Folau was doing (and by extension, Ablett when he liked Izzy's tweet). They were using their fame as a platform to spread their Christian bigotry. Most people aren't cool with that. Folau and Ablett can think what they like. They can even tweet whatever they like. Just as others can give them shit right back at them. It's a free country. You can be a campaigner and I can call you a campaigner.
I'm guessing you are one of those types of people who parade the ideology of diversity and inclusivity. Your comments above really don't match up with this.
That's a laugh. Siding with religious bigots who publicly announce that gays will burn in hell unless they repent and then accuse their
critics of being against diversity and inclusivity?!?!? Way to twist things around. Nice try, mate...

Let's also give nazi skinheads and the KKK a free pass too. In the name of inclusivity and diversity, they have a right to preach about the nazi holocaust myth, racial segregation and how Jews have taken over the world.
