Setting up strawmen does little to relinquish the hold or make things otherwise.

Is it sex or religion that sets out laws making it such that many
many people do not take care or caution to birth planning but rather
the words of an invisible sky creature? I have not heard the Pope of
Sex demonizing contraception to the peoples of nations who are being
crushed under the weight of their faiths application.

I have not heard the clerics of Sex call for women to be beat or
stoned becuase they show parts of their bodies in public

I have not seen gangs of armed soldiers in the army of Sex take out
villagers to stand against walls as they are shot because the
villagers believed otherly than they.

All these things are things religious authorities  HAVE actually done.

sad sad sad sad not only that it happens, but that other justify it.
