Why?

What is it with pushing religious stuff into peoples faces? I believe it is offensive to people who either have a different religion or none at all.

One could just say: "You should do a day of digital detox every week. Like for example people do on Shabbat. Or in other ways."

Or you could just give people the benefit of the doubt, read it that way to begin with, and save us all a lot of grief. Regardless...

I believe it is offensive to people...

If you have a personal beef, say it clearly. The rest of us don't need you to run interference for us. I'm of a "different religion" and I think it is an outstanding idea.

> If you have a personal beef, say it clearly

I have no beef. I just stated my personal opinion. And I even stated a way how it could be framed with religious content in the text.

I still feel I did a reasonable critique with an idea of how to communicate in a less offensive way towards others.

Exactly, that's what I wanted to say. But we are on internet so I use a meme with ironic tone, I was not preaching.
All fine. I had so much religious stuff shoved in my direction lately because of COVID - my tolerance massively decreased because of that in the last weeks.
