    Careful- they only talked about hatred of religion, not the religious. A subtle but enormous difference.

      You’re absolutely right. That is a very important distinction to make. One which I think should be more actively emphasised. There are absolutely people who hate people for being religious. Definitely want to clarify to make it clearer what is meant

        Can you point to one? I don’t see any.

          Are you suggesting that there is not one single person who hates religious people? All I’m saying is that people should accept other people and leave them to believe what they want to believe. I don’t think any reasonable person would disagree with that freedom

            No, not at all. I’m saying that the op was complaining about religion, not faith. So talking about people who hate others due to their religion seems a bit off-topic.

              Ah, I see. Well to explain what I mean, I was saying that the message he was converting could be misinterpreted and imo it should be stated more prominently what he actually means so that he doesn’t sound like one of these people. For the record, I am specifically referring to the last part of his message

            I disagree. Islam is killing gay men and/or imprision them for life. They are bringing their homophobic ideals into western europe. I wont accept homophobia and right now islam = homophobia.

              Islam is just one religion. It’s not all religions and not all religious people are like that. Not even all followers of Islam are like that. Dislike a person for what they have done. Don’t dislike a person for what they believe. I’m not suggesting that no one has done anything bad for a religion at all. I’m saying hating a person simply because they identify as a part of a religion is extremely shortsighted and makes this world worse
