I am pagan and I use to get totally ragged upon when I went to high school in Ohio. There were a lot of kids in my school who thought it would be cool to be 'born-again christians' (not saying there is anything wrong with that; but they did it for fashion, not faith) who would either try to convert me or tell me how I was going to burn in hell for my beliefs. What got me was when they would literally surround me and start hounding me with questions which they thought would make me "turn away from the Devil and towards Jesus". I never thought I would find refuge in Idaho.

Yes, I'm black but I've been discriminated against by African-Americans because I don't fit into their stereotypical image of what an African-American should be. Blacks need to stop accepting their own stereotypes because that is what is draging us down now. I've been discriminated by whites but that doesn't bother me as much.
As far as religion goes, its hard for others to understand that although I am Catholic I believe in other religions too. My mother is Islamic and my father is Methodist. I have religious tolerance and acceptance and some narrow-minded people just can't see that.

Yes, mainly whites for as race and whites forced their religion on African-Americans when they were slaves and now they discriminate against African-Americans for as religion. Go figure!

Yes, i think everyone has. If your a Democrate, you are hated by Republicans or vice versa. Catholics hate prostatants.
Jews hate christians or vice versa. Whites are mean to all races
some races are mean to whites. This world is one of conflict
It is a violent world maybe us young people can change it for the better. Probably take God to do that though. Everyone hates my religion. Because it is the truth.

Yes. When I was a Christian AND when I was a Wiccan. I've been on both sides of this one and can honestly say, those who do the discriminating are only showing how stupid they really are.

I have because of my religion. I wish I had a $1 for every time I have been asked what my problem with the New Testament is.

Religion, yes...I think any religion you choose someone is going to disagree with you, even if you choose to be completely un-religious, so you might as well take it all in stride, and just walk away from those who are really nutso and just want a fight

All the time, even by my friends. When somebody makes fun of somebody for being, say, Jewish, everybody gets all over them and is genuinely mad. But when somebody makes fun of an atheist, they couldn't care less. Heck, a lot of people would join in! It's pretty much a daily/weekly thing for me.
