Attitude to Religion and its believers. (lemmy.world)

What is your general attitude towards those who believe in religion whether they are jewish, Muslim, Christian etc etc.

Do you get on well with any religious friends and neighbours?

Have you ever thought of believing in a religion at some point?

If you do not like the faiths, why?

If you DO, also why? Does this come from your family? Maybe something went bad during your life?

I get that Lemmy might have the same stereotype in Reddit that there are loads of atheists, but there's a good reason why despite criticism of religion, it is still here.

P.S. I am not religious or anti religious in any fashion, I am agnostic.

"...scholars consider Buddhism one of the major world religions."

"Sikhism, [a] religion and philosophy..."

"Hinduism (/ˈhɪnduˌɪzəm/)[1][2] is an Indian religion or dharma..."

Your own sources say that all 3 are religions.

They say they are philosophies, answer the question. Who is their deity ? A spiritual god? Or a physical person?
