Ah, the acceptance of non- acceptance argument. Most religious groups are against a lot of those groups you mentioned, especially LGBT - some actively so. You don’t get an exemption from morality for being religious.
You can reject non-acceptance. But in that case, then how does the argument apply against tolerant religious people mobilizing to reclaim the narrative from intolerant religious people?
It sounds like you’re failing to discern between the two, which is called an overgeneralization.
Understandable, and that’s the issue. I’m not saying morality should be an exemption, but there’s a difference between actively supporting, condemning, and just allowing people to coexist-knowing we’re the same yet not all the same.
The majority of religions are based on imposing some sort of rule based morality. And often these rules seem to go against the notion of letting certain different people coexist - at least that’s how it plays out in practice. So I think the default suspicion of any religious group is reasonable and founded in reality. You may have an all inclusive religion and that’s great, but you then must see how that conflicts with most other religions. I don’t care what gods you believe in, but I care if you try to impose an arbitrary morality on others.
