Why does it seem that religious people are particularly prejudice against anyone who isn't like them?

Answer 1

Because they get a pontificating over inflated view of themselves , I call it HYPOCRISY, they think the only people who are people are the people who think like them!

Answer 2

Many of those do seem to go in groups, yet they appraise solo and complain of their own surroundings and illusions. They always speak demanding patience and understandment yet deliver not tools on this or peace, some that could be used in purpose not belief. Faith to them is any they say, no others, so that egotistical aproach helps none and pays their bills, some are still eager enough as to get inmediate results paying these folks a part of their income, that is not permitted by law, yet these claim to support law to forfeit and control focus groups and economy. They exist to help others apreciate loneliness is apropiate sometimes and to be regarded as petty wonders of others esteems and results. It is obvious to me live ones are not a nuisance to others, while priests are a tool to evolution, like cars or vegetables. They all see green or blue, so if some of the other kind is seen it will not be accepted or believed. That is prejudice.

Answer 3

because most (okay some) religious people are particularly prejudice against anyone who isn't like them

Answer 4

The main word in this question is "religious" and religious people are just that, religious. They are mainly concerned about the "religion" and its rules, not about the treatment of people or anything about character. Being more spiritual will help change a person and their character, not religion. It's the sweetness and sincerity of the person's spirit that will draw people to them, not religion. Religion is a vehicle to change ones spirit to become a better person inside out. Please don't down the religion, just check the spirit.

Answer 5

In my experience people who are not religious are more prejudice against religious people.

And the funny thing is that people who is non-believe talk more about God and the Bible that the people who believe in God.... interesting no?

Answer 6

You would be speaking of the baptists. They think that their made up religion is superior. They feel like all others are going to hell. When I go to my church, we sing, read from the bible and pray. At my sister's baptist "church" they ridicule, believe everything this preacher says and believe they are better than everyone else. They are brain-washed, materialistic, lost souls. They have these rules, but can break them when convenient. For example, my nieces aren't allowed to spend the night because my boyfriend and I live together along with my daughter. That's fine, they have their beliefs and it's OK to follow them. But when my brother-in-law had to go to the hospital and she had no one to watch the kids, it was ok that all 3 of them spent the night. Because it was convenient.

Answer 7

Who? Can you give us a name? I've never met a prejudice person of religion

Answer 8

It's not just religious people. Maybe it has something to do with living in small groups in the past and we still haven't gotten beyond it.

Answer 9

A religious belief is a very personal thing, so if someone else has a different belief, it makes some people feel that maybe that person doesn't respect them.

To make it simpler, they feel that, "if you're not with us, you're against us."

Answer 10

every religion says that it is the one correct religion. so the more religious you get, the more you believe that other religions are incorrect. its a terrible opposite for some people, that the more they love God, the more they hate others. its not everyone though.
