@BlueSkyKing Did you know that Native Americans accepted those who are gay and bisexual and are gender diverse and they have a term for it. Two-spirited.
Most Native Americans lean on the left side than the right side. Trump is a misogynistic failure and he's going to prison.
Conservatives tend to attack Native American spirituality and claim men are superior to women. While Native Americans saw women equal to men and were the first feminists. Don't forget that Natives were forced converted to Christianity by colonialists from their cultures and traditions. They were forced into boarding schools and lost most of their language, culture, arts, spirituality, traditions and customs.
And they were forced to worship a patriarchal male God, some were converted to Christianity and some still revere mother earth and saw all things connected and equal.
I use the word spiritual because there's a difference between being religious and being spiritual, "spiritual" is being connected with the universe and seeing yourself a part of the whole.
Christianity and atheism are both patriarchal white cisgender male dominated worldviews.
Christian imperialism, secular imperialism, and patriarchy should be abolished.
I rather term myself as a nontheist than an atheist.
And I rather term myself as spiritual than religious.
Most Native tribes were egaliterian and matriarchal.
In matriarchal societies women were viewed as a sacred and not inferior to women and those societies revered the Earth and Moon as a goddess and embraced the feminine in nature. In egaliterian societies they revered both the Sun and the Earth as a god and goddess. The feminine and the masculine aspects in nature were both revered.
Ancient European societies were mostly patriarchal even their pagan societies were patriarchal too. The deities they mostly revered were masculine, mainly zeus, thor, hades, feminine deites were portrayed as less than.

@Peaceandnamaste Jesus was not white!
I accept your points on forced conversion and loss of culture too.

@SW-User Why should anyone even care what his skin colour was? Seriously.
