PASSIVE PROMOTION OF RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE AND SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS IS THE TOP WAY TO PROMOTE RELIGION AS OPPRESSOR
To hold a bad or rubbish belief is promoting it even if just to yourself. You
are not an island and it has to impact on how you influence others. Principle
says that if you have moral responsibility for holding a bad belief you are
complicit in others doing the same thing. If you steal, you are saying others
should steal as well if they are in your shoes so in that way a collective
responsibility for the evil arises.
The best way to define religion it is a system about how to do religious things
and worship. Using that definition a person who is dead set against believing
Catholic doctrine or who will not go to Mass is not a Catholic even if raised as
one. If religion is about action and being a certain kind of person then clearly
having a belief that you should practice the religion makes you complicit in
what it does.
Using a bad method to justify saying religion is true makes you complicit as
well for you are part of the problem of credulity and credulity puts many of its
victims if not all at risk.
You are morally culpable for choosing to be in a religion freely. Though you are
not a terrorist you are to blame for accepting beliefs that turn some people
terrorist. People react to beliefs differently and also the content of the
belief can lead to loopholes that open the door to violence. Beliefs such as
that God gives violent commands such as in the Bible or Quran are harmful. The
fact remains that even liberal careless Christians or Muslims would be
terrorists in the right culture. The Bible speaks to culture and expects to
operate within culture so you cannot blame culture only.
You are also morally culpable if that religion applies social pressure on people
to conform. Catholics feel forced in strongly Catholic cultures. Feeling forced
is all the more reason for challenging the religion and getting out.
Being passive is promoting the religion. In fact if that was not happening, there would be no active promotion. The passive make the sea for the activist and evangelistic religionists to work in.
