How do atheists who direct all their ire against religious belief think about religions that don't emphasis le believing things, e.g. Zen? (lemmy.ml)

I think religious or spiritual belief itself is a compromise on your intelligence that social engineers can use to make you do anything they want... Which if you look at American politics is working like a charm for them.

As for "ire" generally my beef is with Christianity and the woo community, both of which promote harmful beliefs over safe practices just to live out a Harry Potter fantasy.

Right, but that is my point. So the ones that aren't about 'Belief', what do you think about those?

Meh, I guess.
