You're still doing it. You're still making up a position for me that I have never taken, because you literally cannot argue against what I'm actually saying. You have to construct a position that is easier for you to attack. You have to make me religious because that's what you're accustomed to arguing against.
But I am not religious. I have expressly denounced organized religion, including the unchecked pedophilia, indoctrination, and child abuse that you are pointing out. I fully acknowledge every one of those problems, and I agree with you about them. If I had the ability to dismantle Christianity entirely, I would personally do so. In fact, I am actively trying to undermine those institutions and ideas right now.
I am not religious. I am not a Christian. I oppose any and all abuse, organized religion, religious fundamentalism, and right-wing extremism.
So, do you acknowledge that this is actually my position?
Yes. So anyone hating religion for the same reason wouldn't be "blindly" hating it, right?
