I'm curious as to what happened in that thread. I'm guessing a number of other people mentioned the Reformation too. Reddit jannies hate the idea that religion ever accomplishes anything good so they nuke the whole thread claiming it's somehow not scholarly enough even though it's fairly obvious |

No war has ever been fought over "religion" because clergy and kings don't even believe in god. Only nuns and old people believe in god irl.
