Do you feel like religious people are unfairly judged? [Spirituality & Religion]

Many times, people put them all in the same category, based on what they see, hear, or experience. Not all are the same, though. I consider myself religious, but I don't think that I am better than anyone or that I know everything there is to know about the universe and we were created, if you get what I am saying. I hope we can keep this civil 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I am atheist but people still judge me based on the religion I was born to. And most of the time, it's the religious people from other faith who do that. 🤷 Of course, I am also judged for leaving the religion.

@JBird Is Islam the religion you were born to?

@EarthlingWise nope. I am Indian (ex) Christian. There's a stereotype in India especially among Hindus that poor Hindus were converted to Christianity in exchange for a rice bag. My ancestors were from high caste and well off Hindu lineage and they were converted after saint Thomas arrived in India (maybe there was threatening involved for conversion, I don't know). There weren't any incentives for their conversion. But Hindu extremists use that excuse to bully us.

@JBird Any hope of change in the mindsets of the youngest ones?
