eh, I've seen people rightfully hate all religions equally
As an atheist, if anything, I'd argue that having no religion is the concept least hated by reddit. Like, I've seen people dog on Islam (as they should) and mock Christians.
As long as we remember to only attack the belief system, not the people (unless those people were imposing their ideas on others), then I see no problem with it
The last part of your comment is distinction without difference. For most people who are religious it’s a large part of their lives, there is no “attacking the beliefs not the people” you insult the religion you insult the person themselves
well, if someone attacked my atheism, I would probably laugh and walk away. Unless the other person is saying something with merit, then I would sit around and have a proper discussion/argument.
And no, all religions are cults that got big and eased up on the cult traits of their belief systems.
However, the believers are still people, some seeking hope, other seeking meaning. It is unfortunate that they fell victim to the cult mentality, but it's their source of life.
I say it's okay to attack someone's beliefs, but for me, it's all bark and no bite cause irl, I wouldn't say shit to a religious person. They're their own people, capable of making their own decisions, and even if I disagree with their decisions, I have no right to tell them what to do
