Should we be equally as critical of dislike or hate towards religious groups as we are against racial groups?

@selea Feel free to elaborate, im sure others would be interested to hear your unique perspective.;

@freemo

Well, being immune to criticism is something every cult wants, because then their destructive ideas is not challenged (this applies to religion too).

I grew up in a family cult (think jehovas witnesses) where extensive control and manipulation common. I often think about what would happend to me if I have not been exposed to other ideas (that includes being riddiculed in public), I would propably still be stuck in religion.

@freemo

But I am VERY grateful that I was riddiculed, my ideas was exposed and I was "attacked" with citicism. Because of that I started to question myself and what I stood for.

Well, I lost my family in the process (being the oldest of 7 kids), but me, my wife and kids got so much more - freedom.

It is impossible to tell the the story here on mastodon, considering that I am not a native english speaker or writer.
