If you cannot stand hearing #notall to sexist or racist criticism, you cannot #notall to organized religion criticism.
You cannot in any form claim that most people who criticize organized religion are not coming from places of validity and shared experiences.

Don't be logical in everything else and then
Be illogical in understanding that people affected negatively by their experiences in an organized religion, are not trying to "spoil it" and "cause trouble", they are not suddenly "evil" and to be hated, because they are telling their stories. You believing that they are, is

They can get away with ill behavior for years, because we have awarded them divine privileges. We don't want to question them or be marked as "unbelievers" or "troublemakers", and that culture of silence, must be completely abolished, for religious organizations to be trusted.
