Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I'm not racist if I say I hate Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Religion is not a race, it's fundamentally an assertion of an ontology based upon the primacy of the god of Abraham/Ibrahim, Yahweh/Jehovah.

The belief in the existence, omnipresence, and infallibility of such a being as described by their texts is a detriment to our species and may ultimately catastrophically destroy civilization.

One chooses to believe or continue believing this. One can't choose their ethnicity. If I say I hate those religions, I'm saying I hate their ideas on how reality works, not where they're from or what they look like.

The average American does not give a single shit about protecting minority or women's rights, from my lived experience. Not unless it affects them directly.

Private Schools are a must and I rather have great private schools over good public schools
