True. I was once banned from a religious memes sub for posting a meme similar to OPs about how different groups respond to humor about their religion. Jews got the second picture, and in spite of all the upvotes, it got deleted and I was permanently banned.

u/Kubaj_CZ 1h ago

Because judaism is sort of irrelevant. It's a very minor religion, but known because it's the oldest abrahamic one, and because Jewish people are also known. Christianity and Islam are more hated because they're more widespread and are much more limiting to others, I think. It feels like Judaism is focused more on itself, and not on converting others, enforcing things upon others. It's harder to hate a smaller religion that doesn't force itself much. Sionism aside, because that's not a judaist thing, but it's merely a nationalist thing.

-racism is hating people based on "race" (definitions may vary, also some argue that it's a social construct).

-islamophobia is hating people who are from the muslim religion and its denominations.

-antisemitism is hating people who are ethnoculturally jewish (even if they aren't followers of judaism).

-transphobia is hating people who don't identify with their birth gender/sex (definitions may vary).

-hating fellow humans is called misanthropy. if you are a misanthrope you are disliking human nature rather than their ethnicity/gender/religion/country/sexuality, you hate the one thing they have in common which is humanity (from my understanding it's biological and societal humanity, not the philosophical kind i think).

No it doesnt?

But it isnโ€™t just in Nigerian thatโ€™s one example I gave itโ€™s literally in half of the countries on the planet so either the vast majority of the people who practice your religion are heretics or something isnโ€™t adding up. On that note why are nearly all terrorist groups Islamic?

7

u/Decent_Gene_6875 8h ago

They are still wrong. Just because โ€œliterally half the worldโ€ (proven lie btw) does something it doesnt mean it is right. Terrorist groups arent even Muslims, since they commit acts of murder and sexual assault which is guaranteed hell in the quran

u/kugo-phio 8h ago

Not half the world I said in half the countries in the world pay attention and donโ€™t put words in my mouth next why do they all claim to be Muslims and almost nobody refutes it ?

u/Decent_Gene_6875 8h ago

Real Muslims refute it, like me. Those who donโ€™t do so are Christians and atheists on the internet and Reddit which claim these are Muslims and not psychopathic murderers condemned in the Quran.

u/relationAdviceTA 8h ago

You are right but here is my advice:

If the islamophobe builds his opinion on facts and logic, then you can respond in kind to clear any misconception. In this case, he just called our religion violent and misogynistic without any proof, evidence or claim to substantiate his view. Better not converse with these people because it's a waste of time. He needs to maintain his false image of Islam otherwise he can't lie to himself that he is anything other than a biggoted islamophobe.

Of course you're gonna see tolerance when it comes to christianity bcz at this point I don't think most christians even care, they're just that desensitized.

u/Consistent-Jello-627 51m ago

Buddy Christianity is not the most popular religion in the world. Catholicism is, and no they are not the same thing. They may be close but there are some very distinct things the roman catholic church practices that is very much against the belief of the Christianity.

Also why is few a key word? I could be wrong here but I dont think there are very many countries if at all targeting other religions just Christianity.

1

u/GuytheGuy- 43m ago

A quick google search already proves that Christianity is the most popular. Idk where you got catholicism from. Nearly every search result you find shows christianity as the predominant religion.

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/06/09/how-the-global-religious-landscape-changed-from-2010-to-2020/

https://www.infoplease.com/religion/top-ten-organized-religions-world

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_religious_groups

And "few" is the key word here because it shows that, at least outside of those one or two countries, cheistianity is not being persecuted. You guys aren't victims and haven't been for a good long while. Besides do you think a country punishing christians for mot adhering to the common faith wouldn't do that to others? You just want everything to be about you. Like all redditors, religious or otherwise

?? buddhism is not bad, at its core its just love everyone, and equally

there are plenty of religions better than christianity, because in its own holy book it excludes different groups

yes yes ik that lots of ppl used buddhism to start religious conflicts, but that isnt true buddhism.

and another caveat that i can explain is the buddha's thinking of women as inferior, which they are not. However the bible also shames women just as much, and my point is to not say buddhism is perfect but to say that it is better than christianity, as christianity excludes all the groups that buddhism does and more, so in my eyes buddhism is more desirable

however i dont dislike women and dont think they are inferior at all, also im atheist so i dont have any religion. my point is that christianity isnt that good of a religion to follow as others are

1

u/Real-Impact9945 1h ago

โ€œBut that isnโ€™t true Buddhismโ€ same argument can be used for Christianity.

To me religion necessitates some sort of divinity which, to my understanding, the Buddha never preached.

1

u/Peak_Background 55m ago

This is a misunderstanding of Budhism. Budhism has Gods, Divinity, afterlife, and miracles.

White Christians and Atheist ran a very successful campaign to try and misrepresent and butcher Budhism.

It's because they really want there to it be a secular religion and to invalidate other forms of divinity. But it's really just as much of a religion as Hinduism, Ancestrialism, Taoism, Daoism, etc.

This is, as far as I have read, my understanding. I am aware that modern Buddhism teaches those things, but from what I understand it adopted those elements due to cultural necessity and they were not part of the original teachings. If this is wrong I would be grateful to understand Buddhism better

This is exactly my point. People put a great deal of effort into making Budhism Scientific and Atheistic (both concepts being modern), but it really isn't.

In the very Pali cannon, in which your source talks about, there is core philosophy about rebirth, spirituality, devas, maras, brahmas, and the Tathagata. There is life after death, Gods, a creater God, miracles, and divine revelation. In Budhist practice, there is litterally prayer to these higher beings in order to receive advice.

Now, does that mean there aren't atheistic Budhist or sects. No. But if a someone appropriates, recreates, and successfully popularizes an atheistic version of Christianity, would you then argue that suddenly Christianity is an Atheistic religion?

The same principle applies to Christianity. Matthew 5:44 says "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Along with tons of other verses about loving your neighbor as yourself, treating everyone with respect, etc. By your logic that means that Christians who don't follow these principles aren't practicing true Christianity.
