You've just demonstrated that you have a poor understanding of anarchism and that you can't differentiate between my position as an anti-religious individual and that of an anarchist.

Ever heard of a fucking library? I run a used bookstore. We have hundreds of books on these subjects.
Are you arguing that leftists should embrace people who believe in imaginary friends in order to be more relevant?
What an irrational crock of shit!

Last time I checked, Noam Chomsky draws large audiences and sells lots of books.
Who are you again?
There is a growing movement against religion in this country. It's about
time. I would hope that leftists would move in a rational direction instead of pandering to religious bigots and idiots.
Fuck religion!
