With ironic respect. Should we thank God that religionists are such hypocrites?

The religions that offer a supernatural God are basically authoritarian religions with tyrannical Gods.

They are quite divisive and if Christians and Muslims do not do things just right, they get to burn forever in in a purposeless hell. Yahweh and Allah are mean demiurges.

In terms of following their religions to the letter, I see both Christians and Muslims as being quite hypocritical and I thank all the Gods for that.

If Christians and Muslims did live by the barbaric ideals their religions and Gods wanted, the inquisitions and jihads would force the rest of us to eliminate those fouls religions for reasons of self-defence.

Let us thank all the good Gods that Christians and Muslims do not practice their religions and are such hypocrites. Let us thank all the Gods that Christians and Muslims are moral enough to be hypocrites and only give lip service to their vile religious ideologies and imaginary Gods.

How many Christians are hypocrites? This link says the vast majority right at the beginning of the link, and I would say that the same number applies to Muslims even though their mosque attendance is higher than the Christian one due to culture more than religion.

Actually, no. There may be no gods, so the thanks giving may be a futile effort, irony notwithstanding.

Also, non-religionists are hypocrites, too. Human qualities are disbursed amost totally randomly, regardless of age, race, nationality, gender (any 5.5/a or 5.5/b of them), national origin, religious affiliation/ conviction, and dimples. Singling out religionists as hypocrites is a hypocratic act in and by itself.

Futile, yes, but telling.

I agree. But not nearly as much as religionists have to be.

Wrong in this case as Christians have had to excel at hypocrisy given that they have created an immoral double where they forgive their God for things that they condemn in people.
