I think that’s a very narrow view of religion though, albeit one that is true of a lot and I agree is toxic. Ironically since you’re a UK person, it’s a type of religion I associate with the US and the American right (though I also know through friends growing up that it can be fairly common in some Muslim and Hindi groups)

I think a lot of times religion is used as a kind of cultural link: ‘this is why we have these traditions, this is a moral we have that we can explain with this story’ etc. And with that context I think it can be fine, even helpful to raise someone within a religious tradition

I guess I broadly agree with you mostly, but I would say that religion can be coherent with critical thinking and open-mindedness: it’s cultural as much as its about fundamental belief

(and when it is about fundamental belief then yeah it’s often awful)

Sometimes a lazy answer is worse than no answer

Is pepperoni and jalapeños not super common?

In the UK, that’s called ‘an american’

It’ll be okay as long as you have that recipe again

Just in case you’re not joking, that’s the point of this meme. That the big reveal and emotional moment at the end of the film has been misunderstood and reduced to a plot hole
