Religion

(146,218 posts)Though not at all reliable, various polls on this site have shown that the demographics of the general population are not reflected on this site when it comes to religion. And although I have no data, I would guess that there are many more atheists and agnostics than some of the major religious groups.
In addition, the christians that do participate here are very likely to be liberal/progressive types who do not have any prejudice towards non-believers.
And finally, only in a very few circumstances would a jury have any idea of the religious position of a member they were judging.
You could probably get the data from the administrators, but my hypothesis would be that there is absolutely no religious privilege on this site when it comes to juries.
What do you imagine my point of privilege to be? Those that make assumptions about others based on no actual knowledge are much more likely to be looking down from their place way up high on the ladder.
Are you white? Straight? Male? Living in the US? Employed? The demographics I have seen on this site would make it highly likely that you are those things. So you may not want to compare points of privilege.
Yes, I would agree that you are setting an example of privilege and it has nothing to do with religion.
