Agreed, because religion, like technology, is a pure force for good that could not possibly be exploited for nefarious purposes. I bet if you asked a WBC member they would actually be uncertain and confused about their faith! It's not like the organization actually mirrors the power structure of pastor explaining a holy text to his flock.

(Sarcasm aside, its totally possible for a word like "religion" to contain contradictions and you aren't adding anything to the debate with a claim about who is "actually religious" and who is "guised as religious". If they claim it it's theirs.)

The fact that religion "exploited for nefarious purposes" is what WBC traffics in was precisely my point.
