    You know here in Australia, people have tried to “cure” religions they don’t agree with. White people have tried to exterminate Aboriginal religions. Because these religions were seen as dangerous and primitive.

    Personally, I think taking people’s religions away from them on a massive population level is genocide. Aboriginal Australians have faced genocide for their religion. And to Me, this meme looks like a call to genocide.

      That was ethnic cleansing using religion as an excuse. That’s not the same as doing away with religion. If your actual target is religion there’s no reason to mistreat people.

      To me it really doesn’t look like a call to genocide. In a democracy like Australia, religion is being defeated gradually by education, rational debate, and mockery when all else fails.
