why do some people judge others based on their religion ?
That's a complex issue that doesn't really have one straight answer, and there are typically multiple reasons for discrimination.
• Intolerance - there are a lot of people are simply intolerant of people who have views or cultures that differ from their own.
• Failure to understand - it's scary when you don't understand something, and when you're fearful, you react, you aren't as open to learning as you might be when you're a more open-minded person.
• Fear mongering - religions are often to blame for a fair bit of wrong doings in the world, and when people only hear the negatives and none of the postives, then it's unrealistic to expect a person to be welcoming of those views.
• Cynnical / Arrogance / etc - in a lot of cases, some people just don't see the point in religion, and that's okay. Atheists used to be a really good group to look to for this, but they've become a militant group which is why I no longer associate myself with the term. I'm non-denominational. 😄
