Yeah, one sees this a LOT when Jews talk about Christian hegemony and the assumption that “true” Christianity is good, and the “I’m not Christian, but Christianity IS uniquely good” crowd is (obviously) white and (not as obviously) usually predominantly female.

White men who argue with this stuff tend to either be Christians or Christian atheists who get pretty openly white supremacist pretty fast (Christianity is less “primitive” than other belief systems, built civilization, etc.).
The white women who show up tend to get at the same thing using a lot “softer” language: *true* Christianity is about compassion, that’s not fair, why are you being hateful, etc.
For both, it’s like, if you’re not Christian why are you standing it this hard?
For both, it’s like, if you’re not Christian why are you standing it this hard?
But it’s always surprising to me how predominant the latter are, given that Christianity’s combination of authoritarianism and misogyny presumably harms women in more obvious ways than men.
