hm? I’m confused … how would checking usernames change anything?

EDIT: just to make it explicit:

/u/ganksy@lemmy.world refers to Kaepernick as an “angel” for donating for an independent autopsy of a Black man found hanging from a tree. It is clear from context gansky did not mean a literal religious meaning of “angel”, but meant it in the generic way people mean someone is kind or good (like how “angelic” might mean beautiful, sweet, etc.) - it loses the theological meaning and is being applied in a secular way.

Then /u/DreamAccountant@lemmy.world (display name: Cosmoooooooo) responds to that use of “angel” with righteous anger about the connection between religion and bigotry, implying that describing someone as an “angel” for doing good is tantamount to “supporting religion” and thus supporting bigotry.

I respond to /u/DreamAccountant@lemmy.world explaining how this seems like an overreaction, and that it doesn’t seem reasonable to think someone referring to a nice person as an “angel” is any kind of endorsement of religion, let alone religious bigotry.

What I don’t see is where I responded to the wrong person … what am I missing here?
