so 80% of the population are extremists?

Religion is not a useful tool and it’s not good in general
People who are active in religious congregations tend to be happier and more civically engaged than either religiously unaffiliated adults or inactive members of religious groups, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of survey data from the United States and more than two dozen other countries.
We’re using fancy words now to seem smart? Works better if you know what they mean.
Okay:
So now that we've gotten definitions out of the way, can we acknowledge what century we are in?
I mean in the middle ages people didn’t even have a choice about their religion and I hope you are not trying to tell me crusades and literal witch hunts are not cult behaviour.
At which point did I say 80% of Europeans are currently involved in Crusades or Literal Witch Hunts?
My point was currently, right now, 80% of the population believe in one religion or another. Support for left wing ideals, such as social programs and rights for LGBTQ+ far exceeds 20% of the population. The problem is not religion. The problem is hateful closed minded people who use religion as an excuse to be hateful and close minded.
Conversely: as the owner of my device programs should not be creating files that I can't access any way I want. My .rar files shouldn't refuse to be opened by 7zip.
I should, however, be able to uninstall any program (such as Edge) that I don't want on my system. That is what the bullshit originates from.
According to the 2012 Global Religious Landscape survey by the Pew Research Center, 75.2% of the Europe residents are Christians, 18.2% are irreligious, atheist or agnostic, 5.9% are Muslims and 0.2% are Jews, 0.2% are Hindus, 0.2% are Buddhist, and 0.1% adhere to other religions.
That is quite the persecution complex you have there if you believe 80+% of the people in Europe are in a cult.
To be religious is to be an extremist.
Over 80% of people in the US believe in one religion or another. The country is not 80% extremists.
Tbf extremism itself isn't wrong
The same can be said about religion. Less than 20% of Americans identify as Atheist or Agnostic, the far right extremists do not have support from 80% of the population.
Preordering is a bigger issue than early access. At least with early access there is an existing game people can review.
Tell that to it’s supporters.
Okay, find me one.
Considering Antifa isn't a group, the same number of people who have been saved by Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny.
If you're asking whose life has been saved by protests and property damage then I direct you to the Civil Rights movement.
That's quite the slippery slope fallacy. I replied to your comment of:
I don’t support fascisms, but I also don’t support violence and property damage to get the message across. I will never take a “movement” seriously that uses vandalism to get a message across.
Which at no point mentions mass murder. "Oh, you support people protesting? What about BLOWING UP THE PLANET IN PROTEST?! Is THAT okay then?"
The fact that you equate property damage with mass murder really says a lot about you.
A religious person has the exact same argument...
