I used to be an edgy teenage Voltairean, Hitchensean atheist screechlord. I guess I still am deep inside.

But I have a lot of friends and family who are religious. They are good people. And they will never forsake their religion.

Part of being a participant in an open, diverse society is knowing when and how to suppress your hostility.
-
Obviously, there will be occasions when it flares up again.
-
And since religion is not independent of politics or ethics, there are situations where it has to be criticized.
-
But in most situations I find that openly disdaining or mocking religion does absolutely nothing good.
-
I also enjoy appropriating religious aesthetics for my own degenerate purposes.
-
This doesn't endear me to religious people but it does make the Voltaires a little tiresome to me.
