Discrimination Against Religions

[8tatum]

The constitution provides the right that everyone in the United States has the right to practice his or her own religion, or no religion at all. Discrimination against religions is to be seen problematic by many people. Around 82% of people say there is discrimination against Muslims in America. About 64% of people see discrimination against Jews. Then around 50% see discrimination towards Christians. There are way more religions being either made fun of or discriminated against. It is a right to have any type of religion in the US, so why are so many people being hurt for what they believe in? 

I feel that it is hard to have a religion these days due to all the harassment you get from people. Sometimes it could even be just judgement which can take a toll on a person. You would think that people would know how to treat others and respect their beliefs by now. I feel people should respect others beliefs, I’m not saying people have to agree with them but at least treat them with respect like they should to you.

What do you think about discrimination against religions?

 

Have you ever been discriminated against for your religion?

Interesting topic choice and well done over all Tatum! You did a great job replying to people! I do think you could have expanded a bit more on your summary.

I feel that there is a lot of shame brought to religion in todays society. And it sickens me. I feel that the descrimination towards other religions is sojmething that has grown throughout the years and I wish I knew why. I dont think its ok to shame someone for what they believe in, it just doesnt make sense. I think that if you dont feel the same way just dont say anything at all. Like treat people the way you want to be treated, if you want to be respected for what you believe in, respect me for what I believe in.

I agree that it has grown and it is not ok to shame something that they beleive in. I also agree that you need to treat others how you want to be treated.

I strongly believe that discrimination against religion is quite stupid. Most of the time the argument is flawed due to the lack of knowelege that one may know about the topic. I believe it's not much of a problem here in a small town, but people are still judged daily by their beliefs and it shouldn't be happening,

[8tatum]

I agree with you that the argument is flawed due to lack of knowledge and that it isn't a huge problem in small towns but it is in bigger cities.

I think that disrimination against a religion is not right becuase it not likeing someone becuase of their belifes and their religion. I dont think that I have ever been religiously discriminated against. I think that religious descrimination is not right to do because it is somones belifes.

[8tatum]

I agree that discrimination against religion is not right. It's their right is they want to have a religion so they should be able to follow that religion without being bashed on.

I think that dicriminations against religions are messed up because that is just hating someone based on what they believe in. I have personally never been discriminated, although I heard about all the hate that asians were getting and there is no reason to hate them.

I do not think disrimination is bad around were we live but in large cities and countrys if it is happening it is very wrong.  I think discrimination to certain religions is a big problem if it is happening and people need to be more aware of it so it stops happening.

[8tatum]

I agree that it isn't bad around where we live but it is bad around other places. The fact of the matter is that it's happening and I feel that it shouldn't.
