Resentment is the essence of Islam and Feminism? Guess it shares that with the Trump phenomenon.

Not exactly.
The Trump phenomenon is first and foremost a reaction to the utter devastation that globalization has visited on US factories. That's some real shit right there, not imagined.

Anyone who believes that Jesus rose from the dead has no grasp on reality and should not be treated like an adult. Adults don't believe in fairy tales. There is nothing respectable about anyone who believes in any of the supernatural bullshit in the Bible.
Here is a list of a tiny fraction of notable Bible believers/non adults/not-respectable.
Here is a quick list of Christians who were famous scientists or scientific thinkers:
William Ockham.
Francis Bacon.
J Kepler.
Rene Decartes.
Blaise Pascal.
Robert Boyle.
Gottfried Leibniz.
Issac Newton.
Founding fathers who were also Bible believers include such children as Samuel Adams, John Jay and Patrick Henry.
American presidents who preached the Bible or taught Sunday school include Jimmy Carter and James Garfield. Too bad they had no grasp on reality!
Taylor Swift is also reportedly a Christian. She has a blank space for you Dan!
You were saying Dan????

Founding fathers
What about Thomas Paine or Ethan Henry, both of whom, rejected contemporary religion for their own P.O.V.s,
Here's Paine's wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine
A quote from olde Tommy, "I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life.
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit."
And Ethan Allen, the founder of Vermont ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Allen
Excerpt: "The work was a typical Allen polemic, but its target was religious, not political. Specifically targeted against Christianity, it was an unbridled attack against the Bible, established churches, and the powers of the priesthood. As a replacement for organized religion, he espoused a mixture of deism, Spinoza's naturalist views, and precursors of Transcendentalism, with man acting as a free agent within the natural world. While historians disagree over the exact authorship of the work, the writing contains clear indications of Allen's style."
Sorry, I'd forgotten, those founding fathers were heretics and needed to be burned at the stake or hung out to dry, like in the Salem Witch Trials.
Sorry, I'd forgotten, NO OPPOSING P.O.V.s are accepted in your theocracy.

Appeal to authority means nothing, especially when you have to go back to a time when people were persecuted for showing no signs of disbelief. Of course most of the people in pre-modern times are going to be religious. That just demonstrates how effective the brainwashing of children by religion is. It does not at all demonstrate that the people you listed did good because they were religious and would not have been good otherwise.
You were saying Dan????
I'm saying that there is no upside to brainwashing children into believing ridiculous lies that historically have cause a hell of a lot of evil in the world.
Why would you support brainwashing children?

I think Moral Supremacy and Hardcore Belief come from the same zone of the brain.
It's why Feminism is like a religion.
Moral Outrage is self-serving, study finds.

What Feminism and Islam have in common is a long term systematic cultivation of resentment against the masses of non-Muslim men who have personally done them no wrong whatsoever.
This resentment is both profitable and enjoyable, leading to donations first and foremost, but also freeing feminists and Muslims from personal responsibility for their hatreds. They are told that their mere identity as women and/or Muslims entitles them to enjoy and act on their delicious hates. They do not have to have personally experienced any harm.
"You oppress us!" is the rallying cry of both. But when asked for details of exactly how they are being oppressed by most non-Muslim men, the explanations are inevitably vague, such as "unconscious bias" or "paying taxes to support the military". Even young western non-Muslim men are blamed and considered worthy object of hatred by both groups, when they could not possibly have been guilty of anything yet.
Both feminists and Muslims obsess over finding evidence of their supposed oppression, for example the fictitious "pay gap" between men and women which completely disappears once specific degrees and years of experience are accounted for. Or the supposed "war on Muslims", which exists nowhere but in Muslim minds. The pictures they produce as evidence are usually Muslims deliberately killing other Muslims in Iraq and Syria, in conflicts funded by or promoted by Saudi Arabia, the most Islamic of states.
As long as the mainstream press refuses to call out feminists and Muslims on their invented grievances, then donations and other funding will continue to come in, and their causes will continue to recruit new members with promises of revenge for oppression which simply does not exist.
The alliance between feminists and Muslims in their search for the missing evidence of oppression leads to truly bizarre behavior, such as Swedish feminists donning the extremely non-feminist hijab to gain favor with male Muslim leaders:
