Christian Hate in Regards to Paganism

Post by Cirion Spellbinder »

Why is there a more apparent hatred for paganism (as opposed to other religions) in the Christian community? Not all Christians do this of course, but from my experience the majority of the Christians I have met are quick to slander pagans without doing the same to Muslims, Hindus, and most other members of alternate religions.

I haven't noticed this but I think it might be considered PC to seem smiley and accepting to major religions. There are simply fewer people to offend if speaking out against paganism.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

Pagan is often a catch all term; they are talking about Hindus and Buddhists and most others.

Occasionally, Jews and Muslims get a pass, because they're monotheists, and sometimes considered to be worshiping the same god.
Sometimes, Catholics are consider Pagan, or worse.

I don't know, but it just occurred to me that paganism is probably thought to generally refer to relatively liberal, non-authoritarian religions and/or involve worshipping "false gods," like brimsoneSalad's post suggests.
