npub1ddpukxz4rkcadch7gu5hqre42lju5spyg2ph747yvgysathy4ulqye2tax (npub1ddp…2tax) In that case, it was because of their religion, not despite it. The early white abolitionists in the UK and US believed that enslavement was incompatible with Jesus' teachings, and that inspired them to organise. While at the same time, others (e.g. in the U.S. south) were preaching that enslavement was god's plan.

Like science, religion is what people make of it.
