Do you genuinely believe that religious people would all be terrible human beings that are barely held back by the threat of hell?

I don't. I never made that claim. But a significant proportion of them do. The classic "how can you be moral without God" argument.

You're making some Olympics-worthy leaps in your interpretation of what I said. I never claimed all religious people were monsters. I never implied anything like what you're saying. Honestly it seems like you had this whole thing prepared and were looking for someone to point it at.

You're the one that went of on a rant, not me. I said one sentence. You are still that guy, you just think you grew up.
