And in general, I don’t think the blistering contempt for religion frequently expressed on this site by posters who are overwhelmingly white, young, educated males, is a good look. Not when you consider that people of religious faith tend to be older, poorer, female, and visible minorities. It’s especially risible when the people expressing that contempt are self-professed champions of the downtrodden.

You are totally right. The church totally shouldn't apologize for these atrocities, or be part of reparations. Lets just all move on. Cliff knows best.
Or maybe you could recognize that Indigenous peoples are also calling for that, irregardless of what religion they are?
