When I read articles by clerics such as this, it scares me because I think they actually believe the nonsense they preach.

Stupid. Bad arguments. Hypocritical. Silly, but also racist. UnChristian. Undocumented: straight argument by assertion. He's applying the label of religion as an epithet, while wearing pompous robes. Then admits his frustration is that people are leaving his precious church (growing up).

It is not a “pseudo-religion,” it is a religion.

My response to him - bullshit. Some justice movements are, or have been, needed because of fucking religion. Slavery, sexuality, women's rights, etc.

You got it. When organized religion consistently focuses only on the afterlife and spiritual development, while neglecting to lead or inspire people to change the here and now for the better, at the societal level as well as the personal level, then social movements are necessary to fill the void. If doesn't like it, tough titty....
