I don’t know about your country but here in the U.S. vocal religion is used to justify racism, sexism, refusal of medical care, and employers dictating their religious views on marriage, reproduction, etc. on their employees. Richard Dawkins is annoying, to be clear, and I am deeply skeptical of some of the factors in how he singles out Islam but as far as I’m aware he’s never tried to prevent someone from seeing a doctor or said that a stranger shouldn’t be allowed to get married without his approval.

Here too. It's used against the LGBT community and my ultranationalists. At least they don't refuse medical care and made no attempts to ban abortion like in Poland, because the country had an awful abortion ban (unrelated to church) in the past and everyone older than 40 remembers it. But rumours are spread amongst the religious community about vaccines, microchips, 5G etc. We used to joke that when getting vaccinated against covid, the state secretly intriduced 5G microchips under our skin.
