None of those things are moral or healthy in a civilized society.

It is the religious moderate majority who play a very important role in protecting, enabling and validating the harmful beliefs of the fundamentalists - by this fact they are indirectly harming others. The moderates by choosing to call themselves Muslims, Christians, Jews or Mormons are therefore choosing to group themselves with the people who are being honest to what their holy texts say and those who use their religion for harm. If there is nothing else that you can accept as a harm done by moderates, they do make it harder to criticize religion in public. They also defend their ultimately immoral and fundamental religion and they advocate for the intellectually dishonest use of religious faith.

Things that are or were enabled and validated - by moderate religious believers -

The U.S. supreme court advancing the religious right agenda - abortion / overturning Roe, religious schools supported by taxes, prayer in public schools

Indoctrination, faith healing, churches protecting child rapists, convent child abuse, convent nun abuse, condom use stance in places with HIV epidemics, anti-maskers / anti-vaxxers spreading covid at churches (by not social distancing), science/evolution denial, witch burning - the last pope warned people of witches and you can watch videos online of witch burnings, circumcision, female genital mutilation, overpopulation, quiverful movement, abstinence education, pro-birthers - fake pregnancy crisis centers outright lying and them suing for freedom of speech for rights to lie, personhood bills, televangelism - faith money seeds / prosperity gospel, statements of faith, oppression of women, oppression and hatred of gays, oppression and hatred of atheists, censuring/censorship, "intelligent design" suing for rights to lie in schools, slavery, genocide, forced conversion, exquisite torture, racism, human sacrifice, ethnic cleansing, empathy removal, threats of eternal punishment, religious wars, blood transfusion rejection, systematic child abuse, prayer for sickness instead of medicine or doctors, blue laws, contraceptive stance, rejection of vaccines, young Earthers, flat Earthers, bible literalists, supporting and protection of extremists, faith as a virtue, climate change denial, anti-atheist billboards, Christmas displays on public property, 10 commandments on public property, supposed "wars" on Christianity/christmas, no freedom from religion, churches are tax exempt, blasphemy laws, god on money and in the pledge, atheists are the most hated and least trusted, shunning responsibility, churches land ownership, churches hoarding money and art, court swear ins, lack of separation of church and state, bibles for Africa, anti-gay laws, apologetics, no adoption for gays, religious companies - birth control restrictions, chastity laws, religious companies - public anti-gay stance, religious forgeries, creation museum, shifting the burden of proof, death threats on atheists and critics, marriage vows over spouse abuse, prayer for first world problems, believers clinging on to every single tragedy or natural disaster, Christian rock, country - promoting superstition, mother Theresa (increasing suffering on the poor and stealing from "charity"), forced belief/no exits, not allowing questions, closeted religious gays speaking against gays, pious fraud, holy wars, wilfully spreading disease instead of closing churches during a pandemic, calling atheists "militant", opinion based "facts" and evidence, arrogance, god of the gaps, demanding respect/ that religions not be criticized, fundamentalists, cherry picking, ignorance glorification, idea and book worship, KKK, Westboro Baptist, marital rape, virgin execution rape, hudud (punishments), Sharia, honor killing, acid attacks, death for apostasy, child marriage, 72 perpetual virgins, terrorism, suicide bombing, stoning, beheadings and you can watch videos online of them, burqas(women full coverings), women's restrictions, ashura (flagellation including children), death fatwas(command to kill), jihads(holy war), taqiyya(deception for Islam), 9/11, Karma, castes

Abrahamic holy books support - murder, intolerance, slavery, infanticide, misogyny, genocide, incest, homophobia, xenophobia, torture, human sacrifice, sadomasochism, violence, revenge, bigotry

All religious Faith is intellectual dishonesty made into an elite virtue. It is wish thinking.

People who think there is a god have no objective method to read any holy book just like they have no objective method that can be used to say how all the other religions besides their one favorite religion are wrong.

For people who care about what is true in reality the evidence needs to meet the whole of the claims being made and there are only bad reasons to accept god claims. I care too much that the people who I'm forced to share this planet with hold true in reality beliefs. We do not live in private bubbles, the people who take what are supposedly the most important questions and claim god did it with magic - vote, indoctrinate children and most are in a death cult that make them hate and claim other people not in their cults are sub human.

The god believers can't keep their religions to themselves. They are also more anti-science/ anti-vax during a pandemic.

The religious moderates act as protection for the people who take their not moderate compatible religions seriously and who know their holy books best. Those being more honest to the texts are doing much real-life harm and are trying to take away others legal rights.

"While birth control is the most common reason people use the pill, 14% of pill users take it only for other reasons. And more than half of pill users rely on it at least in part for purposes other than pregnancy prevention." https://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/other-benefits-birth-control

Also murder and genocide.

Leviticus 25 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

Numbers 31:17 So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man, 18 but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.

I think of "out of context" when only part of Eze 23 is posted, the rest is important too.

Ezekiel 23:17-21 NIV 17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. 18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her naked body, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

All religious Faith is intellectual dishonesty made into an elite virtue. It is wish thinking.

The more our beliefs align with reality it allows us to make the best possible decisions here in the real world. Religion and Faith goes directly against that. It lets them believe whatever they wish to be true. It also lets them believe things that conflict with other Faith beliefs. There is no actual method to accept the claims of holy books or think that any gods exist without that Faith. They use that Faith to make up their world view and to "answer" what are supposed to be the most important questions.

Some religious companies use their profits to oppress or to lobby for making their religious views into laws.

"Chick-fil-A has donated over five million dollars to organizations that depict gay people as pedophiles, want to make “gay behavior” illegal, and even say gay people should be “exported” out of America." "Hobby Lobby specifically fought against women’s healthcare and took it all the way to the Supreme Court." https://rampagewired.com/471235/op-ed/companies-under-fire-the-truth-about-businesses-like-chick-fil-aurban-outfitters-and-hobby-lobby/

some words

*cherrypicked superstitious nonsense promotional text

Without a literal fall in the garden there was no original sin and inherited sins that needed forgiven with that pretend sacrifice where nothing of value was lost and Jesus went to a much better place after having a bad weekend.

Those special interpretations you have - "apologetics" to make them say what you want them to say - all require that intellectually dishonest religious Faith that lets people believe any nonsense thing.

The fact that verses require a special interpretation instead of what they actually say shows the complete failure in god's supposed "perfect" and most "important" message.

All religious Faith is intellectual dishonesty made into an elite virtue.

It lets them believe whatever they wish to be true. It also lets them believe things that conflict with other Faith beliefs. There is no actual method to accept the claims of holy books or think that any gods exist without that Faith. They can't keep those beliefs private.

And then they are very proud of that blind and unfalsifiable belief. Enough to intertwine it with their ego.
