And what my secular friends didn't realize was that this religious hostility, these phrases of, "Oh, all religious people are crazy or stupid." "Don't pay attention to religion." "They're going to be homophobic and sexist." What they didn't understand was that that type of hostility did not fight religious extremism, it bred religious extremism.
Y lo que mis amigos seculares no vieron es que esta hostilidad religiosa, estas frases de: "¡Todas las personas religiosas están locas o son estúpidas". "No hagas caso a la religión". "Ellos serán homófobos y machistas". Lo que ellos no entendían es que ese tipo de hostilidad no luchaba contra el extremismo religioso, sino generaba extremismo religioso.
