But you are just assuming, you have no proof of this kind of posts on c/christians. They were not banned because of content, but because of not allowing pro LGBTQ+ content. Please read the linked post first. (https://lemmy.world/post/1762563)

I am not saying that the community should be banned, I am just saying that if the c/christians were banned just for not allowing LGBTQ+ content, then applying the same standards this one should be banned as well.
And hate speech is incredible volatile definition, it seems like everyone is using it how they feel like.
If you are so insecure about your sexual identity that you can’t handle some dumb kid posting funny images on the internet, then you probably need to rethink some of the choices you made in life.
If it’s more than just dumb memes, actually harassment or targeted hated, then take it up with the admins.
I agree, but I would not be selective in allowing criticism of one group while banning criticism of another.
I think you understood perfectly the point I was making.
I do know some hardcore Orthodox Christians, and they are some of the kindest people I know. Far from being nazis
I still ask you to give me a post where c/christians were calling for someone to be treated hatefully, excluded from society
It is absolutely outrageous to call religious people nazis.
I agree, you can be an atheist without offending the religious groups.
Do you think people in Nigeria don't access internet and there are none of them on Lemmy?
No reason for hostility.
a) by the same point I would disagree with a community that is making religious people unwelcome. I am only advocating for applying the same standards across the board.
b) Well you came exactly to my point, no they should not be banned!
If that was the case I would agree with you. But it's not what they were banned for, they were banned for not allowing LGBTQ+ content on their community.
Some people are brought up since childhood in religious environments, and for all they know they are Christians. They didn't really chose to be one.
The same way I don't want LGBTQ+ people to not feel welcome, I do not want religious people to not feel welcome, just because they were born in such an environment.
Care to explain why is it a false equivalence?
And yes people can still be atheists but stand for the right of freedom of religious expression. The same way someone who is straight can stand for the right of free sexual orientation.
This is not true. Christians are prosecuted world wide, and its not only Christians, but also Muslims, Budhist or any other religion.
Is hate speech against religious people acceptable?
After the ban of the c/christians community for having a rule against LGBTQ+ content. I wonder where is the actual line of what is allowed and what is not on this instance. (https://lemmy.world/post/1762563)
There are plenty of instances allowing hate speech against religious people. Looking through them I can see how they can be pretty offensive for someone who was brought up religious.
For example [email protected].
From their description > No Pro-Religious or Anti-Atheist Content.
Some of the content:

- https://lemmy.world/post/1766629
- https://lemmy.world/post/1591110
- https://lemmy.world/post/1585721
To clarify, I do not feel offended, as I am in no capacity religious and I am an atheist also. I also do not ask for the removal of that community as I don't believe neither of the two should be removed.
But going through the content on atheistmemes the content there is far worse and more offending than it was on c/christians. While on c/christians only the rules where marginally breaking the rules, while there were no content that was in violation. This community in my opinion does both.
Allowing anti religion community while banning the pro religion one is creating a real deficit of different opinions here.
What is your opinion? Do you think that one should be allowed while the other not and why?
