All religions have zealots that gatekeep and threaten others to think the same way or die. It just happens to be Christians this time. Right now in other parts of the world, Hindi and Islam have the very same problems. I’m sure there’s some crazy Buddha sect but I just don’t want to fall into a zealot rabbit hole right now so I’m not going to look it up. But overwhelmingly this is the pattern for religions - be exciting, be inviting, guard the members, rule the members, die together (war or self harm).

If it weren’t for religion we would have mental health solved but the crazy people who become cult leaders convince enough people that the healers are the danger. Religion gives an equal voice to the insane.
