Whilst I'm an atheist myself, religious hate speech goes against https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Now that Twitter has removed protection for trans individuals in their hate speech policy, are people who use Twitter thus transphobic? It's a stretch and a broad stroke. Whilst I understand the sentiment, it's making a lot of assumptions. A lot of people simply follow x religion because that's what they were brought up with, but they aren't a religious extremist or bigot.

Look at the number of Muslims who drink alcohol for a solid example, despite it being forbidden. Personal ideology is exactly that—personal.

If someone commits an atrocity in the name of god, is everybody who practices that religion also a violent extremist who hates anyone gay or female?


No need to attack someone's religion in this context.
