>Blaming Islam lets Westerners pretend Christianity and Judaism haven't done the same shit, and blaming religion lets Atheist men pretend religion is the problem instead of misogyny

This is just objectively untrue. Christianity is the most shit on religion on Reddit by a very big margin. Just check r/Atheism. This is because it's the religion that affects the lives of Redditors the most especially now after all this Trump Qanon shit. Also most say the problem absolutely is misogyny which is rooted in religion.

>so I can tell you right now men can and will be absolutely shitty to women without religion,

No shit and no one claims otherwise but it's more shitty the more religious a country is.

You tried to put an awful lot of words in my mouth for someone who didn't even buy me dinner first.

And that's exactly my point. They blame religion for misogyny.

Sorry I didn't mean to. What did I get wrong?

>They blame religion for misogyny.

One must be living under a rock if they can't see its increase is because of it. Just like now what happens with Taliban. What happens in Iran. Iran used to be more secular. With the current leadership it has very opressive laws. Look at America. What do you think the Republican utopia would look like? Claiming these mysogynist stuff don't happen because of religion is so out of touch with reality. If religion went away of course mysogyny wouldn't go away but sure as hell there wouldn't be a mandatory hijab law and access to education.

Atheists aren't blaming mysogyny in nordic countries on religion because it is not because of it. They blame it on religion where religion affects it.
