Because hating the religion is a thin excuse for racism. And being of a certain race is not a choice.

Because when they say "Muslim", they aren't talking about a white person, even though there are white Muslims.

Indeed the person and the religion should be separated. I hate Islam, but not most Muslims. Christianity, but not most Christians. And so on. The religions and their zealots are capable of great evil, whereas the people usually either were born into a religious family, or they were just looking for hope in dark times. Of course I find it best to keep it all to yourself anyway, unless talking with people you know will understand you

I don't have a problem with religious folks who are reasonable about their religion. The problem is that so many of them are not.

I actually can't give a crap about a person's race. Like I'm thoroughly against the Gaza genocide. I don't care if other people associate religion with race, I don't have to fall in line with anyone really. Actually, not falling in line is the entire point.

Race, gender, and quite a few things aren't a choice. I have some tolerance for heavily indoctrinated people, but I don't know how to deprogram them, and I'm quite irritated that states are intentionally spreading religion.

It taints everything, and ruins lives. My parents right now are ignoring signs of diseases because "if god wants to take you, he will take you". I can't even begin to describe how furious this makes me feel. Also, disregarding the possibility that I may not be neurotypical.

It makes me wish we would just get nuked.

Well said.

Being of a certain race does make you a certain religion.
