They are also preying on people they have indoctrinated to believe what they say has any value whatsoever when it doesn't. So you're areligious? What's missing from your life due to not having anyone releasing statements informing you what is or isn't wrong with eternal consequences? Nothing. They are just spreading lies with an authoritative tone and affecting millions/billion who are not actually benefiting from their asinine hot takes.

For your average congregant...are they evil? No, but some of them are being evil on this topic and others like it if they are capable of critical thought, but not exercising it. A thoughtful person is abdicating their responsibility to use reason if they read that statement and think, 'alright, guess gay people are going to hell.'

For your average uneducated sheep that was subjected to religious indoctrination, I think they're stuck with that ideology and it's up to people who can think outside of the constrains of indoctrination to speak up for them.
