I can’t say I blame them for feeling betrayed but Islam like the majority of the Christianity leans to the conservative side socially when it comes to sexuality and gender identity. They shouldn’t be surprised when an all Muslim majority city council starts to act on their belief system and enact ordinances that run against the more socially liberal citizens.

    If the people who make up those organizations are good people, they’ll do the right thing anyway and without the pretense of shoving ancient mythology down your throat. That doesn’t change all of the negatives that come from those organizations, and that society could do without. The money that goes to the church for their charity and the money they DON’T pay in taxes would e better allotted to public programs which could operate for the benefit of everyone rather than those historically bigoted organizations such as churches that pick and choose who gets the benefit of their charity.

    too many times I’ve seen people receive the help they’re desperate for only to suddenly lose it when they failed to jump through some arbitrary religious hoops such as forced prayer or forced belief.

    If religions want to helo the less fortunate, they should pay their taxes.
