If you're finding that people react poorly towards your criticisms of pornography, you might want to do a little introspection about the bad faith engagement on display in this sentence.
There are plenty of people who identify themselves in ways that would certainly distinguish them from a devout/peculiar religious community... and still have their own critiques of pornography or concerns about access, and will engage thoughtful discussion about how it should be treated.
But if you come at it from a conservative religious position ("it's bad because it violates my purity culture norms but I'm gonna dress it up using terms I don't understand like 'dopaminergic reward system' because I know that bestows a hint of modern legitimacy"), you might get treated like a conservative religionist.

Also, I'm not religious. So everything you assumed seems to be wrong so far. Feel free to give it another go
