@itsLatent racism could have that same resolve as people get more educated we will see less racism but its less likely as even in countries where atheism is widespread, racism is still rampant.
@itsLatent but lets say you get rid of poverty. these places will like be able to industrialise and become more educated. data shows that in industrialised areas atheism is way significantly more common. the world WILL eventually get to a point where atheism is the default.
@itsLatent whereas racism at its core is harmful and religion is also used as a front to do racist things. you get rid of racism many extremist ideologies collapse too like the KKK.
@itsLatent its tricky because you look at some of the worse crimes in human history like slavery or the holocaust they were driven largely by racism and i think religion at its core isn’t inherently harmful its just individuals who take it and use it as a justification to do evil as u said.
@itsLatent not sure why were looking at justification? it isn’t relevant to me. any sane person or court wouldn’t give the religious one more of a pass just because they did it in the name of god.
they go hand in hand anyway so getting rid of either will significantly curb the other.
@itsLatent “At its core, poverty is more than a simple lack of MONEY. It is a multifaceted condition where individuals or COMMUNITIES lack the resources.”
if you get rid of poverty you will LITERALLY be giving access to food and water. otherwise you didn’t actually get rid of poverty.
@itsLatent definition of poverty: “Poverty is the state of lacking the financial resources and essentials necessary for a basic standard of living.”
you get rid of poverty your now giving people in poverty the essentials to live. like food therefore hunger would also cease to exist.
@itsLatent are you trying to say racism doesn’t get people killed. are we serious? whole genocides have happened because of racism. the fact you would say that is insane to me. genuinely
