Why would any atheist "dislike" religious people?https://twitter.com/hpluckrose/status/806232962526302208 …
Some ppl are just tribal, aren't they? Secularism is a cause. Religion is a problem. Religious ppl the perpetuators of it.

But atheists are supposed to be rational and sensible people. No atheist worth his name can behave like a bigot.
-
Atheists are just anyone who disbelieves in gods. Religion really is a problem & it really is perpetuated by religious people.
-
Its much more like having a problem with conservatives or socialists than having a problem with ppl of certain race or gender.
-
Ppl are responsible for their values & it is reasonable to judge them on them in a way that it isn't re: race & gender.
-
I found it very difficult to think well of ppl who believed I would & should go to hell for having different beliefs to them.
-
I have found that even elders who are staunch believers but know me well, always tell me reasons why I won't go to hell

I think the last three things, tbh, but it doesn't make me angry with relig ppl any more tho I'll still try to change minds.
-
Don't know if its the same with Hindu/Sikh/Buddhist communities but Xtianity & Islam tie religion into morality very closely...
-
I don't even contribute to my family temple festival in the next compound, but have never faced any ostracism from my clan.
-
that may be coz my clan, like rest of Kerala, are mostly progressive. Hinduism has been tolerant, despite efforts to talibanize.
-
Seems very likely. My adopted daughter who is Indian, ex-Hare Krishna, faced some rejection but they're a bit cult-like.
-
But things vary from place to place. Situation in other parts of India may not be as benign as in Kerala.
