I've noticed a lot of chill religious people on Lemmy. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Idk why I'm mentioning it but compared to a lot of other online platforms where if religion is being mentioned outside of a religious community it is really in your face on Lemmy it seems like when it is mentioned outside of that kind of community it seems relevant to whatever they are saying and are generally nice.

Its a nice change of pace.

(U.S. specific rant incoming)

As long as they actually advocate for queer rights and don't vote for politicians who do everything in their power suppress and restrict those rights.

The issue is many religious people value their religious "principles" more than they do voting for someone who would not repress the queer community.

So at the end of the day it feels very two-faced to me. While they may be nice to your face they have no problem voting for people who would condemn you to hell and treat you like animals because their single issue voting tendencies are ingrained.
