I apologise my comment is a bad comment … You are correct 100% … I had and tunnel mind while typing it out. You are right and bring good points.
Religion should be protected in the sense discrimination should NOT be allowed or hate speech also be BANNED towards religious groups.
I’m really sorry again… It must have not felt good when you read my comment and saw what i typed. Please forgive me.
I’ve been hurt a lot by different Christians in my life and i have seen a lot of Christians cause a lot of harm to way to many people in varying ways I’m angered at the hypocrisy and lies that are regularly spread by Christians. I’m angered that other Christians allow it and don’t stop it. Not even the pope has seemingly done anything.
I understand completely, I’ve dealt with a lot of asshole Christians myself. No need to apologize.
What frustrates me in he last few years is that I see a LOT of people online openly calling for the removal of religion as a protected class, or questioning why it is one to begin with.
And in a context like this, I understand why people do it. It’s a visceral reaction to seeing LGBT people’s protections stripped away in favor of “religious protections” which actually protect nobody in rulings like this one. Gay people should be protected equally like religious people are, and it isn’t a “protection” to allow discrimination based on one’s subjective religious belief.
But if we strip ALL religious protections, then it opens the door for significantly worse harm to be done to religious minorities. What we need is to undo this one ruling, not stop protecting religious people from discrimination or protecting their right to practice their religion freely. And I don’t see discriminating against other people as part of free practice of religion, because one person’s rights end where another person’s begin, and other people have the right not to be discriminated against.

That is 100% true, it’s othering another out group, not creating peace, unity and an egalitarian society
I think best would be to allow, protection of religion but not allow the people who weaponise religion to harm others
