(21,317 posts)Since adherents of religions usually consider them abhorrent, and their religious texts generally say gays should be executed.
Religious texts also say adherents of other faiths are wrong, and are therefore enemies of the one true faith, so they all ought to feel bullied by each other.
Pretty well all consider atheists and agnostics to be "fools" at best, evil at worst, so atheists and agnostics ought to feel bullied by religious symbols.
Women are often considered to have a lesser status than men in religions, so they ought to feel bullied, doubly so since they will belong to one of the above groups.
The only reason most of us don't feel threatened by religions is that we know the vast majority of adherents ignore their own teaching on these matters.
