If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

Provable means able to provide proof to the moderation, and, if necessary, to the community.

The people who believe in imaginary beings aren't smart?

exceptions are definitely there, jesuits and catholic scientists have contributed to physics/astrophysics and other stems quite alot.

You're not doing your point any favors with that reading comprehension. The link is only about Christian nationalism, not Christianity or even religion as a whole. "Fascists aren't smart" is a far more plausible explanation here.

If you think plenty of smart people don't also believe many stupidly wrong things based on no evidence…

[–] podian@piefed.social 7 points 3 days ago

Being a Christian Nationalist goes far beyond holding a mere belief. Even if whatever point you're trying to make is true, do you really think that "smart people who are not Christian Nationalists" have no distinguishable difference from "Christian Nationalists"?

(I'd hazard it's hardly based on evidence, or epistemology if that's what you're going for.)
