I have met one Christian who truly respects those outside of his religion. He doesn't believe those people are misguided or unethical, and honestly meets everyone where they're at spiritually or otherwise. I respect that person. Funny that a religion that preaches such things as the highest priority can have so few examples of people following that mantra that the religion as a whole is known far and wide for the exact opposite behavior.
Just because I have respect for that Christian doesn't mean I agree with him. I don't judge people what they believe, but I certainly judge them for how they act, and it just so happens that the people who act the worst I've seen are also those who claim to be justified because of their religion.
Good people can be good in spite of their religion, so I can't say that all religious people are bad, but bad people can be so much worse when they have their religion to fall back on, so I can certainly say that religion is currently harming society.
Short of telling them "religion is evil and worthy of ridicule and you should not accept it in your presence" or actively encouraging them to adopt antisocial behaviors I don't see how this works.
"Religious" covers an extremely wide area of behavior. There are lots of good religious people and shitty non-religious people. Need to be more specific.
Yeah, I find OPs statement a bit problematic considering it covers so much. Also, indoctrinating hatered seems a bit - counterintuitive to the "my beliefs are your beliefs" people. Also, a friend may be better in moments than no friend (as long as they're not a dick).

You should try harder to be like that Christian.

If you raise your kids right, they'll never end up with a religious friend.

So yeah tell them the truth sounds about right.
Lemmy is an astoundingly hateful place.
Just like church!
Ironic, isn't it.
so is main stream christianity 🤣
Most of the underground stuff too
I was being nice lol
It's really ironic, isn't it?
I know, right? They post stuff like this:
Yes. I wanted to test something.
My expectation was confirmed.
Hateful religious people are reaping what they sow.

Better to be friendly than judging someone based on their parents
Such is life in Joe Biden's America.
Edit: it's a joke, you weenies.
Thanks, obama.
