> Conformism of any kind is bad.
This is a statement so vague as to be meaningless. I doubt you're opposed to forcing conformity to our norms against sexual abuse of minors, or of sexual or physical abuse in general, or against property crimes, or defrauding others. The vast majority of conformist behavior is automatic and unconscious. Everyone who belongs to a religion is outwardly broadcasting their conformity to the group or they're shunned. Saying conformity is bad is saying religion is bad.

I recall that the neo-nazi web site Stormfront had a very difficult time being hosted anywhere in that timeframe. There wasn't any controversy over kicking hate speech off your platform then. Not that it didn't happen, it just was routine business.

Can you list the US presidents who were not white christian males?
