Hey Pandas, What Is One Thing You Like And Dislike About Religion? (Closed)

Like: festivals bring joy and time to spend with loved ones (generally...... because i know sometimes festivals also become pain)

Dislike: The fact that religion becomes the reason of way too many riots, murders, and even wars. All religions teach us to respect other person's interest and be kind bur sometimes religion becomes the cause of inverse.

I'm an atheist so... Peace.

I like free church food
I dont like church

I like that if gives people a deep sense of community. Especially in older people, that provides alot of comfort. I dislike when people use religious morality as a basis for ethics in modern situations. Ie. When people try to apply the Bible to the gender confirmation surgery.

I think there needs to be space that a book written thousands of years ago perhaps shouldn't be used to decide a relatively new procedure that has literally no scriptural basis.

Like: Baptist here. I enjoy the friendships and the fellowships.

Dislikes: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor (only if they are heterosexual, not having sexual relations before marriage)"

Also, some churches run like a corporation and if you don't make enough annually then you are not good enough to serve.

i love the concept of, when things are really bad, you can at least try to make things a little bit better and feel a tad better by praying. however, i don’t like all the hate that people use religion as an excuse for, like homophobia.

Like: Statistical people who believe have lower suicide rates. The bible has some good stories.
Dislike: extreme religious zealots, those who don’t practice what it’s meant to be about - loving everyone for who they are. Also when their children can’t do normal kid stuff because their religion won’t allow it or it because it’s the sins of the devil (things like tv shows, video games etc)

I was brought up catholic, pretty much an atheist but have interest in Doaism.

Like - That people have some one to pray to in tough times. Provides sense of security

Dislike - When religion is used to promote violence, hate & take advantage of people

One thing I like about religion (at least in the USA) is the potential for comfort it can provide to believers.

What I dislike about religion is almost everything else.

Churches at Christmas have all the best songs. Unfortunately also full of self-righteous Christians.

I like that you can find peace and comfort (if practiced right).

I loath the holier than thou attitude that SO many “religious” people have.

I hate it when someone wants to convince you of their religion.

I hate it that SO MANY wars started BECAUSE of religion and still start out of religion.

I hate fundamentalists that use their “religion” as an excuse or reason to wreck death and decay. And no, I am not talking about moslim fundamentalists, also Jewish fundamentalists, Christian fundamentalists (the crusades, the Spanish inquisition, like damn…).

Like: The magical characters, and stories that come from religion.
Dislike: Religion stopping people from doing things (Eating meat, playing video games, being LGBTQ+, ect.), Brainwashing people (Convincing people into believing bad/ untrue things like their parents being abusive when they aren't), Making people STUDY AND MEMORIZE 1200 PAGES WORTH OF RELIGION (I'm looking at you, Christians!), making people afraid that if they do even just a slightly bad thing, they will go to a bad place in death (Hell, Underworld, ect.), and making them go to a place at the same time every day for hours at a time which is just adding to their schedule! That's why I don't have a religion.

Atheist here! I like how it can help people who aren't in a mentally great place and give them something to rely on, I dislike both the outdated political stances and hatred of most religions and the cultiness of a lot of them.

Great president Park Chung-Hee was an atheist. He abolished all traditions and customs related to religion in process of New Village activism.

I like that it helps people deal with upsetting or hard situations. For example, if a loved one passes away, it can help to think they’re going to heaven. However, I think some religions have become twisted out of their original shape by humans. I’m an atheist and I sometimes disagree with some religions especially if they’re sexist/racist/phobic/discriminatory in any way. Not saying this in angry way towards other religions by the way! I think everyone should believe in whatever they want, however if those beliefs affect other people negatively, that’s not really ok, in my opinion. Thanks for reading :)

Like: Giving people good reasons to actually get along with each other
Dislike: Giving people bad reasons to not get along with each other...

I like the people who don't make it their personality. and I hate the opposite.

I like that in some cases organized religion Can offer peace and solace to people during trying times. I dislike that people can use religion to deflect their racism and bigotry under the guise that god is directing them.

I like how it can bring people together and support system for someone going through a rought time.
I dislike how it's used as a reason to hate people and spread dangerous misinformation.

Are you asking what I dislike about GOD? Or the religion? Idk so ima just say I’m Catholic. That is all. Ima probably go check if anyone commented on my Rorschach stuff. K bye.

like: sense of hope from and belief
dislike: how many religions are exclusive and believe they are better than others
