On the other hand, the ease of reblogging on Tumblr also lets one see at a glance which of one's friends secretly think less of you for being religious*, which is convenient.

Urrrrrrgh this is always so incredibly depressing. In addition to the mental illness thing, there's also the coded white/male/Western/affluent supremacism, because POC, women, people in places that aren't North America, Western Europe, or A/NZ, and poor people tend to be more religious. A fact which I, uh...I really don't think it's coincidental to a lot of this rhetoric, honestly. Reading all the 'oh, how could some illiterate black lesbian from Mali possibly be a Muslim?! Doesn't she know she's party to her own oppression?!' crap...uh, it's not pleasant. And I've fallen out with some people I (had) really liked over things like this, which is always just gravy.
