A system of beliefs that is followed by a mass of people. The most common religion is Christianity, which follows the Christian god. Many Christians will resort to the bible to help them get out of arguments for free. Cherry-picking the bible is also very common amongst Christians.
Person 1: I follow a religion.
Person 2: Cool! Which one?

“How did he pull off this scam? Well, Religion! It’s the fasted way to blind people! And the religion is effective altruism” ~ Tucker Carlson
Hym “Yes Tuck! YES! Your rhetorical prowess is surpassed only by my own!!! That’s EXACTLY my problem with JeepJorp! That’s what HE did with religion! He’s reframed the concept of ‘The Greater Good’ as ‘The Highest Good in a Value Hierarchy’ and has conflated it with God and it is akin to this effective altruism you’re talking about. That’s exactly how you get that conversation between Joe and Bjorn. That’s the direct manifestation of effective altruism. Where the abstract takes precedence over all else. But, yeah, I was supposed to post this 3 days ago but I don’t have any fucking free time anymore.”
