I hate to admit it, but I think you’re right on this.

I haven’t seen any studies, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right. However, less religious is not the same as atheist or anti-religion.

There are plenty of folks that identify as LGBTQ as well as their allies that believe in God and may even participate or quasi-participate in organized religion. They will present arguments like, “God made them this way so who am I to hate them?” or, “We are all God’s children,” or what have you.

Anyways, an atheistic society doesn’t guarantee an LGBTQ-friendly society.

We can also see lack of LGBTQ protections in Mainland China which is overwhelmingly atheist.

Opposition to LGBTQ rights in modern Russia started under Stalin who was a supporter of the League of Militant Atheists and an avowed enemy to all religions. Soviet leaders after Stalin continued and in some cases intensified his anti-LGBTQ policies. Modern Russia simply inherited hostility for LGBTQ from pro-atheist USSR.

It’s worth noting the Bolsheviks decriminalized homosexuality prior to Stalin taking power. Point is neither a religious nor atheist society will necessarily be better for LGBTQ rights. It depends on what flavor of religion or atheism is dominating society.

Just about every hospital near me was started by charitable religious folks. Religion has caused a lot of harm, but also tons of good. Let’s not toss the baby out with the bathwater.

Russia is full of atheists and they are also brutal to queer people. Excising religion from the world isn’t going to solve that.

Every generation has its psychopaths and psychopaths tend to pursue power. I wouldn’t put my hopes in millennials any more than in boomers. I’m happy to be wrong on this though.

It’s a fair argument, but at this point, I suspect China would push back given their relationship with India isn’t the best. The major powers also probably don’t want to destabilize South Asia seeing as India’s rival has nukes and would feel extremely threatened. Idk I may be wrong.

I didn’t know India was offered! After some reading (skimming) the US offer in 1950 was to replace China, but Nehru didn’t want to stir up controversy. The Soviet offer in 1955 might not have made any headway, but I’m not sure why that’s the case.

If the UN isn’t reformed, there’s nothing stopping these rising states from starting their own UN

Heroin chic is the technical term, I believe 😖

Dust 514 and apparently a new one called Vanguard?

There’s an earth bending VR game out there. I forget the name.

“Like in other ‘Arabized’ Arab nations, the Arab identity of Palestinians, largely based on linguistic and cultural affiliation, is independent of the existence of any actual Arabian origins.”

Please realize there are lots of Palestinian Christians. They identify as Palestinians.

TL;DR Palestinian lineage doesn’t come from Saudi Arabia.

Why segregate ourselves by language in this day and age? Why not automatically detect the language and offer readers a translation?

I wonder if this feature is a solution looking for a problem…
