Should critical race theory be taught in K-12 education?
How is it bad for society? You never addressed that? How is people believing in objective morality,…
I didn't say that "believing in objective morality or a god/religion" is bad for society, I said that "promoting religious beliefs/values as objective facts over actual science" is bad for society. This is bad for society because doing so is actively promoting misinformation and denying actual evidence, thus creating a society of people who value belief instead of truth.
Of course, this isn't a problem when people who hold religious beliefs accept that their beliefs are based on faith, as well as do not utilize their religious beliefs against others. And for most people, this is the case, but unfortunately there is an incredibly vocal minority of religious fanatics who insist on spreading their religious misinformation as absolute facts, and often also attempt to enshrine their own religious rules and values into law against everyone else. Plenty of people believe in religions for personal reasons, and simultaneously accept the realities of science, adapting their faith with our objective understandings of the universe, and that is perfectly fine. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with belief itself, it's what you do with it that can create the issue.

This is hilariously fallacious. Your argument is that religious fanatics are spreading "misinformation" which is begging the question and assuming the point you're already trying to make. It's a vicious circle and utterly illogical.

Illogical is promoting one person’s god over another with about the same amount of evidence. Illogical is denying what we do know for something that Christians only hope is real. Illogical is spreading proven lies over and over and claiming god is on your side.

No actually it is quite simple: things that are objectively true require empirical evidence to support it, therefore promoting things as objectively true that are NOT supported by empirical evidence is propagating misinformation. Your religious beliefs on the world, such as young-earth creationism, are both 1) not supported by any empirical evidence, AND 2) contradicted and refuted by all the empirical evidence that we do currently have. Promoting something that is not only unproven, but also DISPROVEN by empirical evidence, as if it was an objective fact is misinformation in every sense of the word.
If YOU want everyone else to accept your claims, then the burden of proof is on YOU to provide that empirical evidence to prove it. That is how science and reality works...
