What is your general attitude towards those who believe in religion whether they are jewish, Muslim, Christian etc etc.
Do you get on well with any religious friends and neighbours?
Have you ever thought of believing in a religion at some point?
If you do not like the faiths, why?
If you DO, also why? Does this come from your family? Maybe something went bad during your life?
I get that Lemmy might have the same stereotype in Reddit that there are loads of atheists, but there’s a good reason why despite criticism of religion, it is still here.
P.S. I am not religious or anti religious in any fashion, I am agnostic.
Their point is that there’s more than 1 widely-practiced religion, and there are plenty of sects that are tolerant to different forms of self-expression. Saying food is bad because you don’t like bananas isn’t sound logic, and applying that same logic to religion doesn’t work either.
I can’t speak for any Christians, but many of the religious people I know are some of the most tolerant people I know because their religious schools focused on doing things with good intent.
Could you name them for me? Not beliefs, just religions
Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism are some, but Asia has many more religions/ideologies.
Sikhism is a staunchly monotheistic religion.
(Wiki says otherwise, though they do conflate religion with philosophy)[Sikhism (/ˈsɪkɪzəm/ SIK-iz-əm), also known as Sikhi (Punjabi: ਸਿੱਖੀ Sikkhī, [ˈsɪk.kʰiː] ⓘ, from Punjabi: ਸਿੱਖ, romanized: Sikh, lit. ‘disciple’), is a monotheistic Indian religion and philosophy]
Bruh… That quoted text says that it is a monotheistic religion. Please just learn the thing and don’t die on the hill. They have a holy book (the guru granth sahib ji), together with a wider collection of religious and philosophical works (the bani). They have rituals and the like. Things like the 5 Ks. They believe in a singular deity (Ik Onkar) who is, according to Sikhism, the same deity that the Muslims call Allah. Onkar is the Punjabi symbol for Aum (A very important Hindu concept). The gurus (their leaders), are supposed to be god. The idea is that they are a reflection of God, likening God to the ocean and the gurus to a bucket that is filled by the ocean. Their holy book is the last and final guru and simultaneously god and leader/teacher.
Point of the above is I know what I am talking about. All of those are definitely religions with a belief in deities and afterlifes and holy books and miracles, etc…
All the examples I provided are religions.
Philosophy is not religion, your answer speaks volumes
Your ignorance is genuinely louder. All of those are religions, and any credible source you find will agree with me.
Tell me, who is god/deity in Buddhism? https://www.history.com/topics/religion/buddhism Oh look no deity https://www.britannica.com/topic/Sikhism No deity there either https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism Also No deity
Coming next, But those aren’t real sources
“…scholars consider Buddhism one of the major world religions.”
“Sikhism, [a] religion and philosophy…”
“Hinduism (/ˈhɪnduˌɪzəm/)[1][2] is an Indian religion or dharma…”
Your own sources say that all 3 are religions.
