Right of freedom of religion should not be a human right

RE: Right of freedom of religion should not be a human right

It is also a right that benefits the church, as it indoctrinates people legally and under the “right of freedom of religion”. A human right should not benefit any type of institution, much less one as the church.

There is no such thing as a utopia. Most of the world holds some sort of religious view, be it Christian, or Muslim, or Hindu, or Jew, or Buddhist, ect ect ect. That isn't ever going to change. 

What I do advocate for is human rights. I'd only agree that religion, no religion, or political or economic label for that matter, should ever be free from criticism.

For example, if you are Hindu, and you murder a Muslim for slaugtering a cow, you are a fucking asshole. If you are Jewish and refuse to sit next to a women on a Passenger jet, same thing, you are a fucking asshole. And if you are and Amish or LDS male dictating to females as to how they dress, same thing. If you are a Muslim male insisting on forcing women to wear Hijabs or Burkas, same thing. You are a fucking asshole.


So it is to me a mistake to simply say "church", because that commonly is associated with the Christian sects. "Church" is simply the same thing as "Mosque" or "Synagouge" or "Temple". All of those are houses of worship, merely with different mythologies, traditions, but all still institutions of worship.

But I don't think your quote, which I just quoted is different. I think it boils down to, "You have the right to claim what you want, but I also have the right to criticise your claim."
