I know several shepherds and they were all smarter and kinder than most of the programmers, managers and businessmen I know. But that's not the point. Religion is a huge cultural and social layer that serves as the foundation of society. Including modern society as well. Even rejecting it, you cannot completely get rid of that part of religious consciousness that is in you personally. So the fight against religion is a long, difficult and thankless task, which is not within everyone?s power.
And although I consider myself an atheist, and from the entire Great Lent I celebrate only Maslenitsa and Easter, I cannot help but say that such offensive, unreasoned atheism only disgusts and causes conflicts. It is impossible to convince a believer by treating him like shit. And in general, freedom of individual religion exists (although it is not approved) even in North Korea. It seems to me that rather than constantly arguing about the unknown, it is much better to focus on the hypocrisy and harm of the Church. This is a much more real, unambiguous and proven evil.
