    So when two religions criticize each other it’s funny, but when a non-faith criticizes other faiths it’s a-okay?

                Respecting others’ beliefs is important, regardless of whether we share the same faith or hold atheistic views. It’s not about determining who’s right or wrong; rather, it’s about promoting understanding and empathy. Mocking or belittling others’ beliefs can be hurtful and divisive. Instead we should strive for mutual respect and a more inclusive attitude towards different perspectives.

                    I understand your perspective, but it’s essential to recognize that generalizing all religions as inherently violent overlooks the vast majority of peaceful practitioners within those faiths. Just like any belief system, religions can be interpreted in different ways, and many people find solace, meaning, and community through their faith. Instead of focusing on eliminating religions entirely, strive for a world where empathy and understanding guide our interactions, encouraging dialogue and cooperation among diverse beliefs. This way, we can work towards addressing the root causes of conflicts and promoting a more harmonious society for everyone.
