It’s all Baal worship. Tinder is sacred prostitution. Abortion is child sacrifice. They even incinerate the remains.

'Sacred' prostitution? I wouldn't go that far...

The elite of Carthaginian society would take their daughters to the temple of Tenet once they reached puberty. There they were offered to visitors who would pay to take their virginity. The most attractive girls would be chosen quickly and therefore returned to their family (swiped right). Much praise would be headed upon them by society. The unattractive would wait there sometimes for years (swipe left) for someone to choose them. They were considered more shameful for not fulfilling their devotion to the god.
