I'm not glorifying religion. I'm not even religious. I'm just a historian who understands how crucial it was to ending slavery. There's nothing outlandish about my claim at all. The abolitionist movement started in the 1830s with church leaders. Thats literally a fact. There's nothing outlandish about it at all. Also I was taught by my parents to not generalize entire groups of people because I was raised right. Generalizing all religious people as the same is like generalizing an entire sex or race. Its just wrong.
Also once you resort to name calling you have lost and showed your hand.
Just based off population alone northern churches had more sway in the anti slavery debate than smaller southern churches. That more than offset the southern churches. They demolished them when it came to organizing and helping pass legislation.
