Of course it shouldn't prevent *ideas* from being criticised, but I think we shouldn't forget that religion provides ppl with an identity.

I don't like the concept of Identity in the first place.

Of course it can sometimes become harmful, but many people feel a need to have an identity of sorts.

It's kindnof like letting others define who you are. I can acknowledge what culture/country/etc I come from without calling it my identity

Yes, this is a semantic thing. You still identify with various things.

Yes but that's not what people mean. Identity becomes part of one's ego. Me identifying with humanist ideas is not the same.
