Religion

It was also theists who executed heretics, invaded Muslim countries during the Crusades, blocked the sales of contraceptives in the United State until the mid 1960s, and did a host of other decidedly non-progressive things.

Some theists, a minority, did join with other progressives in a wide range of movements. Some. A minority. When they did, they found themselves working alongside atheists, agnostics, and others on common concerns.

It is a mistake to conflate a minority with the majority. A majority of theists are conservative thinkers, rather than progressive thinkers, whether the subject is religion or soclal issues. If that were not the case, we'd have solved many very difficult problems long ago.

It's good when theists join with others for social justice. It is a shame when the majority of theists does not join in the same goals.

Some try to use faulty logic to "say the thing that is not," as the Houyhnhnms put it. That is regrettable.
