    I want to specify that I’m taking about all the dominant religions in the West with known charities like the Salvation Army. I don’t particularly know or care about the Hare Krishna who gather downtown once a year offering free food with an ulterior motive and practically no noticeable social impact for anyone other than themselves, for example.

    I don’t think I could talk about all religions in the world, but I can safely talk about major trends and commonalities. That does not make me ignorant.

      I know you were only talking about the “safe” religions to criticize. That was my point.

        What, is that supposed to be a zinger? I’d criticize any religion, but the only religions immediately around me with any noticeable impact are Catholics and La Luz del Mundo. I don’t care to talk about hypotheticals or extreme cases because those are unproductive. Or tell, why are you keen on talking about the exceptions to the rule?
