Thats all these religions ultimately seek to do, to strip people of their humanity and accuse them of being less than worthy. What was it Hitch said, born sick and commanded to be well?
Similar to when they say people will go to hell. The hell bit is of course nonsense, but it's the almost gleeful way they stroke their ego at the misfortune of others and their belief in being right at all costs, even if that misfortune is entirely make believe. It gives them a justification to be cruel and believe in cruel things.
Wow, I hope you're not applying this to me.
I apply it equally to anyone who has wacky beliefs that attempt to dehumanize the other for no other reason than '[deity]/[religion]/[political philosophy] told me'. So if that's you, then yes.
