    I haven’t seen any hate specifically towards the Catholic Church (I was raised Catholic, I think I’d notice). Lemmy is majority atheist and we live in countries whose cultures are at the very least heavily influenced by religions so there’s no love for theists.

    What you MAY be seeing is people reacting to the rampant child abuse done by Catholic clergy that is regularly reported on and never really addressed.

      I’d say no culture got not influenced by faith. Faith and culture went hand in hand for a very long time. Culture formed religion and religion formed culture

          I think they just meant that it is true for all countries, since every culture in earth is affected that way. So the distinction “people here come from countries,…” is redundant.

            Fair. I wanted to point out that we all experience some influence of religion(s) in our daily lives and thus have opinions. I suppose I could’ve worded that less ambiguous.
