But you are just assuming, you have no proof of this kind of posts on c/christians. They were not banned because of content, but because of not allowing pro LGBTQ+ content. Please read the linked post first. (https://lemmy.world/post/1762563)

Like this one? https://lemmy.world/post/1440242

I am not saying that the community should be banned, I am just saying that if the c/christians were banned just for not allowing LGBTQ+ content, then applying the same standards this one should be banned as well.

And hate speech is incredible volatile definition, it seems like everyone is using it how they feel like.

I agree, but I would not be selective in allowing criticism of one group while banning criticism of another.

I think you understood perfectly the point I was making.

[-] kher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

You are absolutely right.

[-] kher@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

It is absolutely outrageous to call religious people nazis.

[-] kher@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

I agree, you can be an atheist without offending the religious groups.

[-] kher@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

No reason for hostility.

a) by the same point I would disagree with a community that is making religious people unwelcome. I am only advocating for applying the same standards across the board.

b) Well you came exactly to my point, no they should not be banned!

If that was the case I would agree with you. But it's not what they were banned for, they were banned for not allowing LGBTQ+ content on their community.

Care to explain why is it a false equivalence?

And yes people can still be atheists but stand for the right of freedom of religious expression. The same way someone who is straight can stand for the right of free sexual orientation.

After the ban of the c/christians community for having a rule against LGBTQ+ content. I wonder where is the actual line of what is allowed and what is not on this instance. (https://lemmy.world/post/1762563)

There are plenty of instances allowing hate speech against religious people. Looking through them I can see how they can be pretty offensive for someone who was brought up religious.

For example !atheistmemes@lemmy.world.

From their description

No Pro-Religious or Anti-Atheist Content.

Some of the content:

To clarify, I do not feel offended, as I am in no capacity religious and I am an atheist also. I also do not ask for the removal of that community as I don't believe neither of the two should be removed.

But going through the content on atheistmemes the content there is far worse and more offending than it was on c/christians. While on c/christians only the rules where marginally breaking the rules, while there were no content that was in violation. This community in my opinion does both.

Allowing anti religion community while banning the pro religion one is creating a real deficit of different opinions here.

What is your opinion? Do you think that one should be allowed while the other not and why?
