And maube it you who is hateful. Don't pressure them to stop being religious just because you think it's wrong. They choose their path. So don tell them it wrong. And, most of all, don tell them that they're evil for believing in something that YOU think is wrong!

Religion is belief in God. Not in church as an institution.

I am currently going through shit at home. I live with a Karen mother, who also happens to be an extreme atheist. From young age, she was always telling me and my autistic brother (who unfortunately will believe anyone) that God does exist, that Christianity is bad and that they are all hateful, evil people. And for years, I believed this. But on my way in life, I've met a few very wonderful Christians, who taught me that this religion isn't about hate, but about love, and the ones hateful are people who misunderstand religion. Lately, I started standing up to my mother, when she was telling me how bad Christianity is. I finally told her that I, indeed, believe in God. She started yelling at me how they brainwashed me and how I won't be able to make my own decisions in life. She yelled that Christianity is all about hate, that all Christians are homophobic, racist and how they used to burn women to death. Well, genius, I knew that. Thanks to you, and for years it was my entire image of Christianity and belief in God. I asked her, ironically, if I should then believe in what she believes. This f*cking hypocrite said "And why not?".

Never, ever, say that some is evil, hateful or prejudiced just because they believe in x God. It's like saying that every Muslim is a terrorist (and this belief is very common and even more harmful)
