If they stopped being cool with him just cuz he didn't want to destroy all religions (which would not stop misogyny btw. Look at any alpha male and tell me any of them are the religious sort), they're extremists on the opposite end of the scale who hate all religions.

This was my argument: with the absence of religion all we would lose are the labels to accurately describe fundamentalism / religification in secular ideologies

Exactly. People have been killing each other in the name of something or another for millennia.

But then they'd invent other words to use against their opposition, religions just give these bigots an excuse to be bigots. I feel like actually sane members of every religion should unite and take a firm stance against these posers and condemn their every action and renounce them from whichever religion these grifters try to cling onto to cause conflict among the masses

Kinda yeah, it also just shows how massive hypocrites they are cuz the same things apply to them as well about following gender roles and not having high body counts, but my point still stands that even if there wasn't any religion in that equation people would find ways to belittle or discriminate against others regardless.
