Top Ten Most Misunderstood Religions

Tit for tat. Let this thread be a loving one where we share good Islamic teachings and the rich history of Islam. Let it be a slap on the faces of the thread on worst religions. I encourage you all to read about Muslim Spain and the immense goodness that has come from Muslim rule, where Jews and Christians were treated like brothers and allowed to govern and carry out important responsibilities in society. I dream of that kinda society today. Islam is an ideal way of living, and I understand people have pressing questions about certain things but why not go about learning, finding out why all those Moose limbs say Islam is peaceful and the one true faith? No wonder the first word revealed in Islam was Read

Nobody should conflate the Israeli government and their actions with the religion of Judaism, because then you're doing what the government wants you to do. Judaism doesn't agree with murdering kids like the IDF thinks it does.

It is disgusting how much people hate Jews for no reason. they are just worshiping and have been constantly persecuted throughout even though they did nothing.

They have many haters because they're saying about themselves that they are the chosen ones. And many of them truly believe that as a fact. Does that make them superior, special or what? It's like saying that of all humans living on this world they are better. They should stop thinking and saying that about themselves because that's the kind of attitude why many people hates Jews.

There is no discrimanation between a boy and a girl and also the gurwara is open for all casts and religions. Also Sikh follow the concept of giving and forgiving...

There is only one God for all and we we all His children (no matter what religion or caste). And he is our best friend. EK Pita Ekas ke hum Badal, tu mera gurhai.

A cult invented by a sex addicted and fetishistic weirdo, with the most obvious fake origins, it isn't misunderstood if anything it's popularity shows how some people are desperate to find meaning in spirituality and will believe everything without reading about its origins or thinking deeply what it entails.

First of all; Wicca is not a religion. A Wicca is Pagan, but not all Pagans are Wicca.
Wicca is mostly misunderstood because it violets the Christianity's Magick prohibition terms. As being a Wicca, I have experienced that it does no harm, it has nothing to do with Satan, it is not bad at all. Wiccans practice white magic as you all know, we have a motive which goes like "An he harm none, do ye will (Since I am Scottish and I heard this accented motive in covens, I have no idea what is the explicit one)". The motive itself is self-explanatory.

People judge Hinduism bad, because of some fake Sadhus, who think they are god. But I think they should judge religion by it's teaching, holy books, and gods. In this things Hinduism is always no. 1, and always will be. There is no fear and depress in Hinduism as in Islam and Christianity about Hell or Heaven. Hinduism is only true religion, because it people doesn't force other people to be in their religion as Islam and Christian do by showing them fear. People also think how can Hindu have thousands of god. And answer is because we believe that god have many avatars. We believe god is only one, but he have many forms and avatars. So we have god or goddess of Knowledge, water, fire, air, earth. Veda and Geeta have the best path of teaching than other holy books like Bible and Quran. Hinduism is most peaceful-best religion on this earth ever.

Oh yea lets pigeonhole all the real Christians with the Fundamentalists ones. I mean they are all the same right? Every single Christian is waiting for the Rapture, reads Chick Tracts (Including the "Lisa" one)

Every single Christian agrees with Ken Ham, is a creationist. They all went to the creationist museum and ark encounters.

Every Christian believes magic, homosexuality, abortion, halloween is evil don't they?

Christians in the past did terrible things but that's the past, and yes we have fundamentalists but you think every single one of them is a fundamentalist.

This deserves all the hate it gets, the satanic church promotes social darwinism in its holy book saying that the "weak should disappear", also its promotion of worshiping one-self and ayn rand ideas make them ugly people, if cavemen thought like these people humanity would have been extinct by the prehistoric animals, we always needed the community to survive, we are social animals.

This "religion" is not misunderstood whatsoever. It is literally the worshipping of the evil Satan. No normal person would ever worship something as evil as Satan. Of course the moment they do they are not humans, they are demons disguised as humans so they can wreak havoc everywhere in the name of Satan. Satanists deserve no love because they are evil like terrorists, murderers, rapists, etc. They deserve to be hated forever because of their love for Satan and hatred towards God. They deserve to be crucified and ostracized forever for their stupid utterly useless belief that Satan is good and God is evil.

I am a Catholic and I do believe this is a very hard religion to understand for two reasons. 1) WE DO NOT WORSHIP MARY! Mary is the Mother of God; therefore, she deserves love and respect. We pray to her and ask for her guidance in times of trouble. 2) we do not hate homosexuals. I think that it is 100% to be part of the LGBT Communtiy. Love is love no matter what. It's just bad to have sex with someone of the same gender because HIV was passed through men having sex with other men. Also, God wouldn't make a bunch of homosexuals just so that they could go to hell.

Westerners think buddhism is an atheistic religion when actually they have gods, indian gods played an important part in buddhist legends right from the start of the religion, every japanese buddhist temple has a shrine and other asian followers pray to gods for health,etc.

I'm voting for this one because nobody in the west knows what real buddhists believe.

Atheists and hippies in the west have appropiated buddhism too much that when anything from southeast asia involving religion gets posted on reddit, atheist and new age trolls go and post idiot comments thinking they know better than a theravada monk because they read from a fedora wearing with acne his wrongs assumptions about Buddhism.
