... for having a common meme template pointing out a piece of historical trivia?

Man, I don't even fucking think religion as a whole is compatible with modern democratic societies, and I have a special hate in my heart for the Abrahamic religions, but this entire comment section has really made me feel like I've been tossed a decade or two into the past.

I mean, not every meme is a knee-slapper. Plenty of memes here are oriented towards the trivia, with the joke being secondary.
