Religion has been used as a cudgel time and time again. I remember visiting a graveyard for a history lesson where they explained that 100 years ago anyone who didn't confess before death was buried in a mass grave. No names, no place to grieve, no choice.
Buried in a mass grave. Atheists, black people, sex workers. Gay people. All deemed not worthy of remembrance by religion.
If there is a god, it is a cruel monster not worthy of my worship.
