Ive found the overwhelming majority of emotional tards when it comes to religion are women and gays.

You all seemingly fail to realize that "Christianity" was used as tool to accumulate power. It's why Marx referred to it as "the opiate of the Masses". One of the few things he got right.
FWIW, I am a devout practicing Catholic. I trusted the Church "Powers that Be", I'd have left long ago

I just don't see how this doesn't apply to groups like ISIS.

It certainly was used as a tool for controlling the population many centuries ago. But we evolved past that for the most part.
In the modern day, Pop Culture is the opiate of the masses.

Well, yeah.
Why wouldn't it be?
Without motivation, the murder doesn't occur.

Said another way, "Reason" and "Humanism" have taken religion's place in the West. The results speak for themselves

I know a lot of gay people who are nominally Christian, but they are older.

LOL.
Anything and everything has been used as a tool to accumulate power.
Nationalism/Patriotism
"The Children"
Safety
Money
Culture
Religion
Etc.
None of those things are bad per se, and (obviously) neither is Christianity.

You leftists LITERALLY created the hate crime because you somehow felt that murdering someone for being a different race was special, and much worse than murdering them for $6.
It is the absolute core of your political identity playbook.

John Timothy Earnest shot up a synagogue and tried to burn down a mosque back in 2019.

Do it publicly. Whenever people burn the Bible or the American flag publicly, the demand is that we just sit idle and do nothing.
Watch their reactions if you burn a pile of qarans and Palestine flags.

Which is a soulless, conforming existence.
We're irrational creatures stuck in a rational system.

I'm sure for some it does, in the sense that there may be ISIS or AQ leaders who aren't living piously and aren't willing to kill themselves for the cause. Baghdadi was a lifelong cleric from a family of them with a theology degree, but he was a rapist too, I guess.
But contrast with the UDA, where even the foot soldiers were likely overwhelmingly non-practicing protestants more concerned about loyalty to the crown and protecting their stronghold on unions, government jobs, etc. than any tenet of faith (or faith generally).
