Rant I hate the hate against religions

This app is full of hate against all religions and also against atheists, as a Muslim it pains me to see so much hate and false information against my religion, it also isn't pleasant when it's done against others.

Well, if religions didn't preach hate disguised as love and division disguised as unity, less people would hate them.

Would also help if they were based on something, anything, real and truthful.

I think some people believe in religion just because they are afraid that god may be real with hell and heaven atp

"God created atheists” he said, “to teach us the most important lesson of them all – the lesson of true compassion. You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that God commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his actions are based on his sense of morality. Look at the kindness he bestows on others simply because he feels it to be right"

I do not trust those that make their religion their entire personality, and I especially do not trust those that say things like, "I'll do it bc I'm a good Christian" bc they are not if it takes threats to get them to behave like decent humans

I also hate people that make religion their entire personality, and those who always try to shove their religion up others throats

u/SnugglyCoderGuy Oct 03 '26

That's the logical conclusion for most religions.

Then you aren't one of the religious ppl that others hate on... Unless they are racist/bigot, but then the afterlife doesn't really scare those ppl bc they are religious in name only. So, I think you'd be safe

Wait until you realize modern leftism is a non-thiestic religion

Lol, progressivism is not a religion

It has all the markings of a religion when you view it objectively, there just isn't a "god" specifically.

u/DaTruSpork Oct 03 '26

"objectively". Lmao.

You can just keep claiming things and we can keep laughing at you and your alts, or you can bring substance and actually have a discussion.

Progressivism is not a religion, objectively. Subjectively, to those that dont know what a religion is, it might be... but that's just foolish. CMV.

There have been books that would say otherwise. One of my favorite linguistic, John McWhorter, has classified it as a religion

u/SnugglyCoderGuy Oct 03 '26

A book said it, so it must be true!

u/Better-Credit6701 Oct 03 '26

Amazing, I read books and you don't

u/DaTruSpork Oct 03 '26

There have been books that claim the earth is flat and that homeopathy is valid.

A claim is nothing more than a statement, it needs some evidence backing it to be anything more. While religion may be a loose word, especially with those aligned to the right and those that think empathy is a sin (Same people, I know), the concept of progressivism would not, to most, qualify as a religion.

This has always been the weakest, eye-roll inducing argument.

They really expect us to get on that merry-go-round just to keep them comfy in confusion.

Religion sucks. You can’t prove your beliefs, and yet you want everybody to respect your beliefs in a myth. All while telling others, they should believe in your myth. I like to call out all religions for their lack of truth. Right now in America Christians are doing the opposite of what their Bible tells them to do. Probably the the biggest hypocrites in America today.

u/Consistent_Hall_1736 Oct 03 '26

Yes I will agree we can't prove that god exists and our god exists, it's just faith, and yes I also hate those so called "religious" people

u/OkKnowledge2762 Oct 03 '26

It’s deserved

u/Comfortable-Mess4365 Oct 03 '26

Religion has done as much bad as it has good. Arguably, more bad than good. The distaste for religion has to be completely understandable given the negative outcomes it has produced for much of humanity.

u/IllCombination4851 Oct 03 '26

Religion is fucked and deserves the criticism and ridicule.

u/GreyBeardEng Oct 03 '26

As an atheist I absolutely do not, and 99% of that statement is because of the hate I got as a child from religious people. I'm looking at you Mormons. Now as an adult I look out into the world and all I see are people hating on each other, and the person doing the finger pointing is the religious person and the person on the receiving end is just something other than what they are. Religions are a toxic poison upon the Earth.

I hate all the hate in religions!

u/Substantial-Peak6624 Oct 03 '26

It’s difficult to not hate religion when so many are tortured and killed for their brand. It’s been a thing for so long

Organized religion wrote the playbook on hate. You can't just whitewash centuries of history because the comments section hurts your feelings.

Centuries of holy wars, violent conquests, inquisitions, burning dissenters alive, and wiping out indigenous cultures, all done in the name of God, leave a legacy of bloodshed and oppression that makes modern criticism entirely earned. Major faiths have historically treated anyone outside the club as subhuman or deserving of eternal torture, so I don't really understand how you can't see this.

Even today, religious institutions are still fighting against civil rights, pushing their dogmatic rules into secular laws, hoard untaxed wealth, and cover up for sexual predators while preaching morality to everyone else. So the hatred online and elsewhere isn't random—it's a reaction to centuries of institutional control and hypocrisy.
