Religion shouldn't be called a race.

[Angrboda]

David Baddiel put it best when he said he is an atheist but jewish enough that the Nazis would've killed him.

So its more complex than it seems at first glance.

It is only complex in the context it is needlessly so. Most liberals accept we should all have equal rights and that we are all humans. But it is still important to understand those complexities for diplomacy reasons. 

All I am trying to point out is that you cannot single out one religion and ignore others. 

And here I thought you were trying to point out that racial (or ethnic) groups and religious groups are not in any way related so the two shouldn't be conflated.

I wonder where I got that idea from?
