Why are people so averse to acknowledging that organized religion, almost ALL organized religion

38. Because people can't separate religion from the people

Idiots are quick to equate a religion with an entire race of people: Christian = white and Islam = brown skinned people. Doesn't matter if they are atheist, Christian, Jewish, agnostic, Sikh, Hindu - if you are brown you are of the Islamic faith.

These idiots cannot comprehend that a white person would believe in anything other than Christianity and will be very quick to find an ounce of color or "other-ness" to them to explain why they are white and non-Christian.

So people who have two or more brain cells that rub together have come to realize that when you criticize a "non-white" religion, it feeds this belief of idiots that the whole race is homophobic, misogynistic, radicalized, bigoted etc.


Way too many people (ie Trump supporters) cannot separate religion from skin color. If I, as a light-skinned person, say that "X" religion is misogynistic, knuckle draggers will be quick to think I am as racist as they are and that I am condemning an entire race, ethnicity or geographical region of people.

So unless I know I am in the company of people who can actually think, I am not going to say anything.
