    Well if not them than who?

    Who do you know, challenging the religious extremism in such a troll-laden manner?

    You can love a piece of art without subscribing to the artists ideals and political beliefs.

      This sums it up. No other group is willing to stand up on these topics. Do I think they’re perfect? No. They’re human. Humans who never anticipated leading a worldwide movement with so much time in the spotlight. I also completely understand the organization wanting to pick its legal battles closely. This does mean that the chapters should be locked in stride with the message from TST. If they spread too thin, they lose appeal and effectiveness. Hone in on religion. Keep pressure there until it is no longer needed. THEN move on.
