I’ve joked before that it would be wise to declare it against my religion to view advertisements. But the more I think about it, the more I see the advantages of this idea. When something is framed as a matter of religious conviction, people tend not to question it — they might even go out of their way to accommodate it.

So imagine if we founded a new faith — call it Ad-Free Christianity — where viewing advertisements was explicitly forbidden by our creed. We could carve out a space free from ads, a sanctuary for our hearts and minds to be cleansed.
Are you curious?

Sins of the New Religion:

1. Gross Advertising (this is to send more ads than you could personally respond to)
2. To witness the gross advertising.
3. To plot with enthusiasm to earn wealth without working (renting out, lending, or extorting for profit)
4. To rent or pay interest when it can plainly be avoided

None of us is free of sin. repent etc etc

@futurebird the ad-free part sounds good. not so much the christianity, but in the US I think it might be the most respected religion

Just seemed like the best bandwagon to get the kind of action I want when I say "I can't use this because of the ads, this is against my religion."
