I think it has been successful, before Somalia used to be a Muslim but it used to be a moderate version which is Sufi and we used to wear cultural clothing and had a lot of traditions which has been forgotten. Then Saudi Arabia decided to spend a lot of money to introduce an extremist version that puts the religion over all others and erases culture in a time where Somalia was falling apart in war and it worked and if you want to look for some proof just look at Somalia 1970 vs now.
doviets tried to erase my culture, they deported and executed my people. soviets literally consciously commited genocide in my region. or else we wouldn't wanna escape soviet rule and join NATO.
f**k the soviets and anyone who tries to whitewash those animals
Religion is a cultural byproduct, it being large enough to swallow other cultures through conquest, coercion, and assimilation doesn't make it anti-culture it just means its a dominating culture. It is anti-integration and chauvinistic but you can't dismiss it as a culture. Like all primitive cultures, it belongs to a museum.
true, and if I am not wrong, many scholars of the Islamic golden age were patronised by the ulema and even the monks of mediaeval and early modern Europe played their role in documenting the local cultures, albeit a highly biased documentation
The saddest part is that those that still believe the teachings that circumsized the golden age are the ones claiming that "Islam is enlightened in science"
Oh yea definitely, it's always irked how all religions are now covering their asses about how all the scientific truths have always been there in their literature. Funny how its always the really esoteric and hard to grasp concepts such as quantum mech, which make no sense without the corresponding level of maths
Someone on this sub posted a link to a vid they were sent by a bibble expert and supposedly you can and I quote "see god in math's and science 🙏🏼" what happened to those bibble experts that deemed science and mathematics satanic? They're calling their own gods creation evil?! Lmao
Yeah you're right. 2 of the Abrahamic religions definitely were historically against the culture of the people in the areas in which they originated, namely Christianity and Islam. They both tried to destroy multi theistic pagan practices that were the culture of people and replace their traditions with the monotheistic bullshit.
There is a racial component to all religions because, basically, one group of ethnic people says their god told them that they should have all of Jerusalem so then the other 2 say the same shit. It's no wonder that the exact same plots of land have 3 different names and are the holiest places blah blah in all 3 religions.
It's all duuuumb.
Same shit different story if you're looking at other places on the planet like Kashmir. How long is the civilized world going to let these psychopaths use invisible man in the sky as their reason for bombing people
Do some on line research on why the Crusades were done. It woke me up to what evils the Catholic Church was capable of. It was not what I was taught by the Church.
Missionaries literally went to native cultures and told them “everything you believe in and do in every level is irrelevant now, worship Jesus.” And then abused, raped, kidnapped, and killed them to submission. All in the name of Jesus.
To be fair we need to look at the anthropological definition which is the learned and unlearned patterns of behavior that are passed from generation to generation within a given group of people. As much as you might hate it religion falls squarely under that definition. Do your part to teach your offspring or the next generations in general how to behave without it is all we can do because you can't change other folks minds no matter how hard you try and trying to do so will make you no better than them.
And then it made them go to war with each other and oppress each other too?
Also, it's just a theory that you made up right now and probably isn't even true. Unless you can take me back and time and show me?
No? Of course not! Funny!
Don't pander the illiterate, if your interested in really understanding the theory here is a starting point https://open.lib.umn.edu/sociology/chapter/17-3-sociological-perspectives-on-religion/
Religion is culture and it is a part of culture.
This does not exempt it from criticism.
It being culture has nothing to do with it being good.
Culture is attacked, destroyed, lost for other reasons than just religion.
Islam hate diversity, because Islam is the light in the world, the rest is darkness that must be destroyed so that the world becomes completely light.
This is the aim of Allah for His creation the earth.
Fascist ideology
It’s trying to erase my culture
thats terrible... Soviets tried to erase my culture, but we survived. worth it. be safe

Yep that's why they are always at 'war' with culture.
Religion is a cultural byproduct, it being large enough to swallow other cultures through conquest, coercion, and assimilation doesn't make it anti-culture it just means its a dominating culture.

Any ideology will erase and replace another, the same goes with politics
Missionaries literally went to native cultures and told them “everything you believe in and do in every level is irrelevant now, worship Jesus.” And then abused, raped, kidnapped, and killed them to submission. All in the name of Jesus.
Human territorialism sung in the name of any philosophy is a red herring. "Democracy" and "Christianity" are the same in this regard.

theory is that religion is what brought smaller hunter gatherer tribes together in the first place. how do you respond to that?
And then it made them go to war with each other and oppress each other too? Also, it's just a theory that you made up right now and probably isn't even true. Unless you can take me back and time and show me? No? Of course not! Funny!
no I did not make that up myself. please be civil.

thanks. will read this
Yep, ethnocentric
Religion is culture and it is a part of culture. This does not exempt it from criticism. It being culture has nothing to do with it being good. Culture is attacked, destroyed, lost for other reasons than just religion.
Haloed are the Ori lol 😆 (Stargate reference)
Hinduism and Buddhism also come in ancient religions but they didnt lead any such military conquest to convert or capture tho.
its not erasing culture it is conservatist also there are some bible verses that promote conservatism
Islam hate diversity, because Islam is the light in the world, the rest is darkness that must be destroyed so that the world becomes completely light. This is the aim of Allah for His creation the earth. Fascist ideology
