I think you’ve just voiced your opinion in a terrible way.

“I hate religion and the bad in causes in the world. I don’t agree with the beliefs of anyone who holds a religion” - totally reasonable position.

“I hate Muslims” (or any religious group of people), seems extremely hateful. You’re saying you don’t just hate a religion, or disagree with people. You hate them personally.

I dunno, just feels like you need to reframe your opinion, or if you really do hate people simply for being religious, need to think if that’s a healthy point of view.

I say this as someone who is vehemently anti-religion, as in most cases, there is some harm being caused by an unacceptably large subset within almost any religious group. But, I still recognise people’s right to believe whatever the hell they want, as long as they’re not personally causing heinous harm themselves, or purposefully/negligently supporting people who do.

You just can’t paint massive groups of people all with the same brush.

Same vibe: I hate the state of Israel, and the Israeli polity for committing genocide, but I still don’t hate Israelis as a blanket statement. That’s just bigotry friend.

Hi ASIO, no, criticising a foreign state isn’t a hate crime!
