Is someone a racist If the have problems with RELIGION?

Answer 1

Only if you have a problem with a religion that is predominant in a certain race. Cant think of any yet except Vodoism, maybe.

Answer 2

A race is a group of people with the same lineage, or location, or a physical characteristic. Interesting not I have an older dictionary and the word racist is not even in there which shows it is one of the words popularized by some group which felt they were being slighted in some way. Gee wonder who that could have been. So it depends on the religion I would say if a person Celt's then racist, with Christians just prone to generalizations but not racist all religions then that would be someone without a brain but not a racist. A racist can tell one person from another so while still probably not too bright considerably smarter than someone who just has problems with people who practice or have any religion. That person would be for certain be at the bottom of the intelligence scale.

Answer 3

Someone might feel another is racist is they have a problem with religion, but it does not mean the belief system of the religion is bad or that individual. I have problems with religion, especially Christian religions. While supposing to emulate Jesus Christus, who preached of love and forgiveness even for sinners, almost all Christian religion has a history of persecuting those who are not like themselves, or especially those who might look, talk, behave different than themselves even though these ones might be good people anyway.

In the Bible itself, an apostle who was supposedly writing down God's word to him, wrote that God said, "In all nations of men there are ones who are acceptable to me..." So being a certain race, nationality or creed would not stop God for accepting an individual no matter what he looked like or what land or culture he was from. If one is suppose to be following Christ's footstep who set the pattern taught to him by his Father, the Almighty God, humans should also accept all people no matter what background, culture, nationality or from what country they come.

In any case, racism is based on Race, a 2 part definition being: 1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. 2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

That would therefore mean, that someone would not necessarily be a racist if they had a problem with religion. They would be a racist if having problems with members of that religion of a certain race.

Answer 4

While some races are largely identified with a single religion (Jews or Arabs, for example), religion is an expression of an IDEA not DNA. One can become Jewish or Muslim and be an entirely different race, and many born to a particular race do not follow that race's dominant religion.

So the answer to your question is a qualified, NO.

Answer 5

It depends on whether you choose to make those problems obvious through verbal or physical abuse. Though you're not technically being racist, you're just being discriminative against creed. I'm pretty sure there's laws against it.

Answer 6

No a racist is someone who has a problem with people of color like the skinheads and KKK have with blacks and Jews.

Answer 7

No. Religion is not a race. Where did you get this idea?

Answer 8

Someone is a racist if they have a problem with race.
(note to self) Great job ,, I didn't even make one sarcastic comment! ...""Whoops"" Oh well.

Answer 9

No. Racism is about RACE, not religion.

Answer 10
