I've kept putting it off, partly because the project seemed so big and partly because I don't have a blog. Well, now you've gone and done it. I guess there is more to say about religious privilege, but probably not a <i>lot</i> more. Oh, well—I snooze, I lose.<br /><br />This is centrally important stuff, I think; it seems to me that religious privilege is at or near the core of just about every disagreement that atheists have with wider society, and even a large proportion of controversies between atheists ourselves. Shame that it took an explosion of (overt expressions/defenses of) <i>male</i> privilege among atheists (facepalm) to elicit it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417475152705096483.post-72727115755845550832011-07-15T08:18:48.569-04:002011-07-15T08:18:48.569-04:00nice, I like it. Especially the networking thing (...nice, I like it. Especially the networking thing (old boys club//church, depending on the topic); the boyfriend has experienced this especially strongly, having been unable to find a job in the things he's trained in/good at because he lacked connections. Shortly before moving, he actually asked me (because his family has never been church-going, so he lacked experience with this) if I remembered enough of Catholic ritual for us to be able to join and pass for proper Catholics, so he could use the church to network himself into a proper job. I was not amused, but understood the sentiment.<br /><br />Also, thanks for the link-love ;-)Jadehawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469173565648873918noreply@blogger.com
