After the ban of the c/christians community for having a rule against LGBTQ+ content. I wonder where is the actual line of what is allowed and what is not on this instance. (https://lemmy.world/post/1762563)

There are plenty of instances allowing hate speech against religious people. Looking through them I can see how they can be pretty offensive for someone who was brought up religious.

For example !atheistmemes@lemmy.world.

From their description

No Pro-Religious or Anti-Atheist Content.

Some of the content:

To clarify, I do not feel offended, as I am in no capacity religious and I am an atheist also. I also do not ask for the removal of that community as I don't believe neither of the two should be removed.

But going through the content on atheistmemes the content there is far worse and more offending than it was on c/christians. While on c/christians only the rules where marginally breaking the rules, while there were no content that was in violation. This community in my opinion does both.

Allowing anti religion community while banning the pro religion one is creating a real deficit of different opinions here.

What is your opinion? Do you think that one should be allowed while the other not and why?

Despite their desire to be, Christians are not persecuted like they claim.

This is not true. Christians are prosecuted world wide, and its not only Christians, but also Muslims, Budhist or any other religion.

Christians being prosecuted in Nigeria has no weight whatsoever on people writing things you don't like on Lemmy. Don't be so super whiny

Do you think people in Nigeria don't access internet and there are none of them on Lemmy?

They have not yet complained about people saying things about christianity. Only you do, abusing their suffering for your hurt feelings.
