why do u hate christians so much???

I mean I can give you a real answer if you want but the short version is they tried to kill me as a child and their holy book is extremely horrendous and does genocide apologia among other things

it kind of baffles me that people continually argue religion has no bearing on the veracity of science in the sense that they're completely compatible and dont interfere with one another. like okay then please explain to me why a survey in the US found scientists are 10x as likely to disbelieve in god or a higher power than the general population. are we sure there's no relationship between these things? really?

struggling to word this rn but there's something to be said about how focus of Islamophobia is misdirected at atheists. like sure there are a lot of islamophobic and generally bigoted atheists but I'm pretty sure if we're going to point fingers about Islamophobia, Christians need to be first.

like yeah atheists often misguidedly apply their critique of religion or particulars of Christianity to Islam and fall into racism, some of them are even just straight up racist even without that, but Christians aren't misapplying anything, they're not falling into the trap of a wider bigoted society, they are the bigoted society, they're hateful warmongering colonizers and imperialists and ideological support for these things can be found directly in their scriptures, they're only able to feign progressive ideas because they have such control over culture in the imperial core, and they use that control to single out their opponents as uniquely bigoted for doing the very same things they want deep down. it's a kind of "the enemy of my enemy is my scapegoat" setup, and it's really weird to try and get a grasp on

You could easily be called Christianphobic for what you’ve said. Also Muslims have colonized a lot in the past

I try to answer asks with care and kindness but I'm gonna be real I do not think "christophobia" deserves to be taken seriously. I know what I said about Christianity is harsh but it is from a perspective of study and understanding. I am a Christian apostate and I think you will find I've studied the Bible quite extensively

if you want to talk theology I can do that, I'd be happy to quote the bible directly to back up my claims, but be serious- christophobia is not a real thing.

I could even get some resources from my ex-muslim friends if you want to talk about issues within Islam, but this "Islam colonized too!!" line is nonsense and really doesn't meaningfully address anything I've said.
