Religious people might be polite, might even do good things, but they vote for people who do terrible things. Ideally, the whole thing would be done away with. Convincing people to reject facts and vote their feelings is never a gpod combo.
If religious people recused themselves from voting, I wouldn't care much. But they're dragging our country down. They're gullible tools of awful rich men. They fight any forms of progress.
And yeah yeah you're about to tell me about your aunt Maple who isn't like that, she's really lovely and doesn't preach at you and just likes going to church for the social element. But who does she vote for??
