Exactly, that’s the impression it gives me when non-religious people want to silence those who dare to oppose different religions. By doing so, they think they’re on the side of tolerance, while they’re complicit in oppression from religions…

I realize that religion has always been a highly political body, which hasn’t been able to apply the deep truths of the laws of Nature to the moral needs of humanity. Gurus are powerless to understand ancient science & secret of Mysteries.

It is patently false to claim religion, at least the Christian one, doesn't apply the laws of nature to the moral needs of humanity. The natural sciences were basically founded by clergy and educated laity of the Christian faith. I don't mean in part, but the whole of the scientific endeavor we know today would be fundamentally and radically unrecognizable without the Christian thought.

The Christian religion is well aware of the natural laws.

Then to claim it doesn't apply those laws to the moral needs of humanity reveals a lack of knowledge about religious thought. The Church has dedicated much thought and energy to the moral needs of people in their various circumstances.

Rather than the blanket claim, provide an example of what you mean.

As an aside, I say respect of persons is a judgement of value. It comes from philosophy, not natural science. "Respect all persons" is good, but "respect all persons equally" is false. Some people, and some religions, are deserving of greater respect than others. Such as scientism is not a respectable religion, as it doesn't even recognize itself as one. Likewise for any Pegan religion, wokism, etc. And people who spend their time making dismissive remarks about others' beliefs without basis are also less deserving of respect.

Your counterchurch literally claims that the highest way of life is to be a retarded incel in a monastery instead of raising a family.

You wouldn’t know natural law if you got kicked off a building, non-consensually.

Man has created & lives with his idols, & when he idolizes something, God doesn’t take it from him, he leaves it with the object of his lust. However, this idol ends up killing him. Our humanity, imbued, disbelieving & idolatrous, is now abandoned to itself.

Predict the possibility of a reversal of science & spirituality correlation while scientific modernity, associated with the death of God & disenchantment of the world may seem to make humanity able to increase its knowledge & worldly power without giving it access to the spiritual goods promised by religions.

Notions of good & evil, moral & immoral, are present in us from birth & are most of the time the same regardless of where we were born, the time when we were born & the culture where we were born… Everyone is free of religion, uh! but believing in God is something that some people have a hard time understanding!
