Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Pretty much. I mean if people want to believe and practice various things in their free time, that's fine as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. But religious beliefs should have no place in government or public services.
And yes, turning your baby into a cutaway craft project because space daddy said so counts as hurting someone.
That's the opposite of what OP is saying. OP is very much against people believing these things in their free time, and said nothing about government or public services.
I think you misunderstood OP he literally says Religion is a form of mental illness.
It's a symptom of people unable to cope with the reality of the universe.
The reality we literally don't know
Yes, that's the point - they're afraid of understanding we'll never understand everything, so they come up with delusions.
That doesn't even make sense
It sort of does, like nobody knows all these things about how life and the universe and death work. So some people make up stuff with absolutely no proof and others choose to believe it's true because of blind faith.
No one will ever know
