Fun fact, the Bible doesn't mention gays anywhere until a translation error was introduced 10 centuries later. In ancient greek there is this passage condemning men sleeping with males, which in ancient greek means young men. It was condemnation of pedastry, not homosexuality....

It's not an abrahamic religion thing. Have you ever heard a fundamentalist buddhist preach? You would have confused the message for one from James Anderson. It's extremism that causes this

Second, if you see evidence of God's existence everywhere, you don't need faith. Faith is what you use to convince yourself in absence of evidence.
Heck, if you have that evidence, you can share it and it'll hold to scrutiny, right? So please do

First of, proof and evidence don't mean the same thing. You use proof when you can demonstrate it to be unequivocally true by definition, that's what math does. You use evidence when it's a brick to c get closer to what's likely to be true.

That's what makes Azathroth a more "realistic" god than Yaweh

For me it wasn't a pivot but a tool to sort out which stance are harmless and can be left alone (even if I believe in the far distant future when humanity as a whole will ditch faith), and which stance are harmful and need to be addressed as such

Sophistry, the goal is just to wreck the opponent, preferably for an audience, without caring if what you say is actually true or sound. That's why in sophistry, you get a plethora of logical fallacies used without shame, whereas with philosophy, you want to avoid doing any

It's about how the believers react when the beliefs are in conflict with scientific discoveries. Moderates learn and adapt, extremists deny and double down

That means moderate believers tend not to contradict the discoveries of science like extremists tend to do. Instead, moderate believers adapt their beliefs as science progresses

So yeah you can use science to debunk extremist religious claims.
Moderate levels of faith is where you find religious people that are scientific minded. Scientists themselves sometimes. Fun fact, majority of Evolutionary biologists in the west are christians

I'm sure you have heard correlation doesn't mean causation. I can't claim that extremist faiths always rely on science denial. But the correlation means the ones we observe do
Science debunked the literal interpretation of Genesis a 1000 times over. Literal Quran says earth is carried by a turtle

That's the difference between philosophy and sophistry. While both use arguments and debates, philosophy isn't about winning or losing, but about both getting closer and closer to what's likely to be true, together. That's what makes philosophy hard, and sophistry easy.

By useful correlation it seems extreme and harmful stances happen to rely on science denial to survive whereas moderate versions just fit in the shrinking gap of knowledge without stopping it.
So, fighting science denial is useful enough, I'd say

Yeah, personal experiences only go so far. I used mine as illustration of my point, but I don't use mine to generalize. Instead, it's the mechanism that does it.
Unfortunately on the topic of the predatory recruitment, all it takes is 1 person at the place and time when you are vulnerable.

Meanwhile I have an aunt who helped her grief from losing her life long husband by joining new "friends", at almost 80yo at the time. Note my use of quotes. She ended up radicalized. She is still the only one to wear the veil, and discussions now revert back to the Quran. It's shocked the family

"then you have blind faith there is no god" : why? I'm agnostic atheist with a dislike for anti-theistic stances. Yet never been in a church outside of wedding or a funeral.
My family on both sides is mostly made of moderate believers. Sunnites and catholics. Thus mom and dad chose not to influence

They end up like the ones who converted them. Just like with indoctrination from birth. If the ones converting them are extremists (such as young earth creationists), you get a new extremist as a result.
It's the recruitment that's predatory.

This also applies to those who didn't inherit the belief, as more often than not they convert by being convinced during a moment of weakness (grief, fear).

For each god cited you have tons of variations. What's true for the baptist Yaweh of one community is false for the baptist Yaweh of another. So yeah, try millions of gods, not mere thousands.
