Mmmh. First time I heard of this. Is the world tired of dogmatic practices?

I don't think "the world" is tired, and there are far more effective ways to demonstrate indifference. I have done so by no longer buying what religion sells. When enough people do that, religion will be consigned to the irrelevance it so richly deserves.

What is going on is that a few people are very angry, enough to take it out in extremely selfish and self-defeating ways on others. Such people tend to simplistically fixate on a single thing and imagine that if they could eradicate it their lives would suddenly become wonderful. Or in the alternative, they think these impotent gestures will make them feel more powerful and in control of their lives, with no negative side effects.

The irony is that theists tend to think we atheists are "mad at god" when the people who are really mad at god or his earthly representatives are the ones breaking things and blowing things up in churches. Mostly, this would be the disenfranchised, the screwed, and the hopeless, not atheists per se.

Well since this was posted things have stepped up and a series of RC churches in Sri Lanka were bombed on easter Sunday.
Looks like the chickens are coming home to Roost, unfortunately it is th poor gullible "faithful" bastards who get suffer for the sins of the Catholic "fathers"

Can’t imagine why that would be happening!?. Perhaps the god that moves in mysterious ways is mysteriously telling them that, if they are genuine in their faith, they don’t need all the paraphernalia and they could flog it off to help a few people in their parish.

A lot of us atheists have long since rejected dogmatic religious, political, and economic ideologies. That is true of me for almost 50 years. If you want to really understand how total system religious and p0litical ideologies entrap and control people, read Erich Fromm's ESCAPE FROM FREEDOM.

Catholic Churches are vandalised by people

Well years of kiddy fiddling, covering for perverted clergy, conspiring with Nazis, stealing money from the poor, hating everyone who is, gay, trans, bi, protestant, Hindu, Muslim, and any other religion or lifestyle that is not Roman Catholic, you think this might just get a few people pissed off with you?

This hell is what religion does to people. One religion thinks another is no good and must be destroyed. On and on it goes and for what? Like John Lennon said, "Imagine no religion". I wish it were so, no religion to breed hate and division between people.

I'm over it all.
Churches mean nothing. What's inside them means nothing.
Let the believers all kill one another, and destroy all their buildings.
People will create more art based on other stuff.
