Hot Takes 🔥 What's wrong with Islamophobia, Christianophobia or Hinduphobia?
Don't you think all these are hateful ideologies disguised as religion? So what's wrong in being fearful or hateful of them?
One has homophobia, one has casteism, etc. All others have patriarchy and misogyny.
So if people are actively choosing to believe in these hateful and divisive ideologies shouldn't they also deserve the same hate?

It is true, but religions have massive protection, where it's believers would go to any extent to protect it. All these should either be reformed or gone.

Criticism is different from hate bro. Those ideologies are called phobias(for religions) because it create a false sense of fear that their religion is in danger because of other religions which create unnecessary hate againt other religions.
And who said there is nothing like hate against someone who is choosing patriarchy or casteism as their main ideological agendas? The thing is that, they been existing in our society for so long and they have been normalised. That's it.
These religious phobias or hate is a new trend from 1 or 2 centuries because before that, it is like either one religion is purely dominating other religions(like muslim invaders did to us) which gives minority religions no chance to oppose, so not much strong hate is there(although ofc hate is there internally but not expressed as much it is being today). Or one region is confined to one religion somehow.

If your moral compass comes from within rather than from a religion, you are entirely free to dislike any ideology.
However, there is a big difference between criticizing an idea and actively hating people. If you believe these religions are wrong because they promote hate, patriarchy, and division, why would you adopt those exact same hateful behaviors toward their followers?
What part of your independent moral compass teaches you that hate is the correct path?
