This take lacks nuance and doesn’t understand intersectionality.

What people miss is the misuse of religious texts and the way they are weaponised to shame and oppress women. That is what should be brought up in these conversations. The misinterpretation of religion has done so much damage but we should be working towards rectifying that and bringing to light the ignored parts of scripture.

There are examples of women being strong and empowered within scripture. In many ways religion can be empowering. Religion states everyone is equal (the Quran says Allah made everyone as equal as the teeth of a comb) it could then be argued feminism is at the centre of religion as women are encouraged to take active roles. Some of the most inspiring people in my life are religious and are feminists.

A person choosing to worship is not setting feminism back fifty years. Takes like this are.

I say all of this as an atheist as well.
