Ehhh they’re two circles. Not wholly separate, not wholly the same. If it were a venn diagram, it’d be two circles with a lot of overlap. So… two distinct groups that merely share a lot of similarities in many cases.
Oh, so we’re talking about the fucking easter bunny now? No thanks, this has already been a stupid enough conversation. Those are some spectacular mental gymnastics, 10/10.
Don’t forget to add the fascism subtype.
Literally every religion is in that subtype, so it’s a bit redundant.

All the genocides, wars, slavery, and ordained atrocity from every brand of faith kind of makes me feel otherwise.
The not-shark makes a valid point
Them both being responsible for some of the terrible things from history does not magically make them equivalent in all aspects.
Believing in the Easter Bunny also requires one to ignore reality but that doesn’t make it equivalent to religion, either.
Nobody ever ran a totalitarian regime, started a war, caused a genocide, or justified rape and slavery due to the easter bunny.
Also, religion is tantamount to believing in the easter bunny.
You cite several things that differentiate them, but then say they’re the same… Are you sure you consider yourself self-aware?

Your inability to grasp the most basic concepts of a venn diagram is both pathetic and hilarious. Good job being a real life clown.
You never heard about the sex cults and weed smokers.
