I'm sure those indigenous people also have/had their own religion. the only difference is that it's likely polytheistic and also did not inspire acts of genocide.

I was thinking of posting this.

It really is shocking.

Our history with Indigenous is very bad, see also Residential Schools

Yeah, as if all religion in general is responsible for that. 🙄

I just kinda skimmed thru the article but it looks like those were all Roman Catholic churches. Not surprising, since they are the ones that have committed so many atrocities throughout history and given "Christianity" a bad name.

RCC has lots and lots of innocent blood on its hands. Everyone knows that.

Here's the thing though, Roman Catholicism is not actually true Christianity.

Blaming religion is passing the buck a bit, since it was the government that forced them to attend schools to "assimilate them" into Canadian society.

Also it doesn't necessarily mean they were murdered. The article itself says many may have died of illness.

An awful, awful tragedy, no two ways about it. But if the Catholic church did not exist, they would have died of illness and forced assimilation somewhere else.

Yeah, maybe I should make a thread about how 97% of mass shootings are carried out by atheists.

I'm sure that would ruffle a few feathers here no doubt.

But then they'd hypocritically reply that their atheistic beliefs had nothing to do at all with what they did lol.

I hope people aren't blaming Religion for this.

cdtm is right, this is the Governments' fault.

You should get some cheese to go with your whine.

Also this is just a sad event to witness and see all the bodies.

I say again: F*ck religion.

These children were sent to those schools to be brainwashed into Christianity and were beaten for using their native language.

The power of Christ compels you, indeed.

FYI, the shooter of the Sutherland Springs Baptist Church massacre claimed to be an atheist.

News flash: That wasn’t atheism; that was psychopathy. Atheism doesn’t involve murdering innocent human beings just because you disagree with organized religion.

That's weak, man.

This is why "motive" is kinda important.

People generally don't kill because of Atheism, that's rarely used as a reason. While human history is literally littered with people who've been killed using religion as reasoning. YW
