I agree that religion has caused a lot of issues...
I think your classmates are complete idiots if they decide to dislike someone for their religion... ah don't get me started, I can rant for hours about this =P
As for your friend... I'm not sure if she should have told you.... I understand that it hurt you, but she was trying to be your friend and be honest with you... I can see both sides... but I agree with the first person... if it's going to do nothing but hurt you, then don't tell you...
Too late now though.

One of the great things about living in the United States of America, is that we all have the right to free speech. It is also one of the not so great things, on a personal level, if hurtful and hateful comments are made at directed at someone; because of their race, religion, looks, attributes, upbringing, social class, color of eyes, weight, height, hairstyle and a million other factors that we have all heard about in our lives. I do believe that your friend was attempting to help you by telling you what was going on, it is difficult to choose the correct path when she is in the middle of her classmates and their comments: and you, her friend. I do not know your age, but I do know, that younger people can be blunt and therefore cruel in the remarks that they make, because they are young and inexperienced in the world. I hope that you have more that one friend, I am sure you have family you can discuss this with. Do so, show them exactly what you have asked in this forum and discuss it. Even talk to a trusted teacher or your religious leader. Do not let yourself feel alone, similar unkind and hurtful comments are made about many topics constantly. That is part of the way of the world. When you are older, it will become easier for you to take the comments less personally. Best of luck to you and bless you.

I have found this so often, that religious people, who based on their religion should be kind to everyone, are really into cruel and inexcusable behavior of this type. Turns me off on anyone claiming to be religious.
Just a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites.
Anyone else found this?

It wasn't a very kind thing to do, because she hurt you & betrayed her classmates.
She shouldn't have told you. I believe that one should ask themselves this before they start talking about what others are saying:
"Will it help or will it hurt if I talk about this?"
If no good can come from talking about someone or something, & especially if it might hurt them, it's better to keep the mean talk to yourself & stay quiet.
