You can say the same about any religion. Christianity spans much more than "American Christianity". Lemmy is a place for people of the whole world is it not? You can't refer to Christianity as a whole when talking about a very specific brand of it.

I would have thought Lemmy would not discriminate based on nationality, race, creed or religion, but I see such hate towards religion in general (here) that, honestly, you are not being respectful to others' beliefs. Is this what we want Lemmy to be?

Fuck off, yes I can.

And I was explicitly and specifically referring to American Christianity. That's why I used that term.

Also, what TF are you talking about Lemmy discriminating? Lemmy isn't hiring anybody, or denying Christians services, or anything like that.

I'm allowed to point out how evil and manipulative Christianity is and has been since it's inception. I do not respect Christians or Christianity because they are not worthy of respect. Maybe you should lose the persecution complex and sit down and have an actual think about what your backward beliefs are actually based on and actually do in this world - the real one, not your fantasy invisible worlds

Yes, you certainly can say this about any religion, something to think on. Right now it's Christianity's time to shine though since it is at the center of American fascism and is manufacturing complicity for one of the most serious child trafficking rings in American history.
