MODERATORS
As I anticipated. Racism sucks
Daily reminder that religion ≠ race
It's intersectional.
[Edit: Even tho race is not a scientific thing anymore, we had this narrative for so long that the term is still in use. At least it is used as a social construct. And we struggle as societies with racism. Still]
So?
Religion is a choice, an unverifiable one at that. There is no reason that such a choice should grant special privileges that someone non-religious, or of another religion would not be granted. Each such request must stand on its own merit.
In Europe the concept of freedom from religion is something that many different cultures have fought hard for - secularism.
