 * - I dislike Catholicism very much, especially after the Second Vatican Council. I don't believe in the papacy, as one man being the sole vicar of the Lord simply does not add up in my mind. Also, the Vatican is highly hypocritical for hoarding all sorts of priceless artistic treasures and relics, while asking us to donate to the church even more. I understand that these relics and art treasures hold great significance within the church, but I have reason to believe that Jesus is looking down upon the modern church with utter shame, seeing their hypocrisy in that area. I also dislike the fact that Catholics tend to deviate from the Bible quite a bit, especially in the modern era. The Bible is to be followed fully if you are indeed a true Christian, not whenever it suits you.
 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - I am a Catholic myself.I like the Pope sitting there in Vatican City and all that other stuff.I think Catholics come out as more accepting to others since they know God gave them life on Earth to exist and that we shall respect others.
 * [[File:Nadzieja.png]] Kultokrat1056 - I am a catholic sedevacantist myself.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - They exist


 * - Made up.


 * Reckonshireism - People should stop following this Christian denomination, especially after the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican happened, such a sorrowing time to be a Catholic along being one within the 21st century. The Protestant Reformation and Catholic Reformation were warnings for Catholicism in order to bounce back their faults and to reform themselves while maintaining tradition. The Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican was the last straw that broke the camel's back for Catholicism. Unfortunately, its legacy still lives on to this day.


 * [[File:Mebrouk.png]] Mebroukism [[File:Mebrouk-2.png]] - I have no issues with people who follow this religion. They can have rights.


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - I dislike Catholicism as I dislike all other abrahamic religions. The reformation was good and undoubtedly needed, especially at the time. Catholicism is a outdated and way too centralized religion that strays far from biblical orthodoxy through it's central leadership and idol worship. That said however, I'm not christian, so I don't care about their heresy. And as with all religions, I have nothing against people who believe in or practice it.


 * - Hands-down the WORST variant(s) of Christianity. Although in their defense, certain denominations like Baptism tend to be more "orthodox" than the rest of them (LOOKING AT YOU, EPISCOPALS), however, all of them are genuinely flawed. They are an illegitimate splinter from Catholicism, although Luther and his 95 Theses raise some great points. No incident describes this better than the fact that the English Anglican Church was allowed to rise in England under Henry VIII, a notorious murderer and divorcee. Even today, we have things like modern Megachurches, which is the consequence of adopting Anglo-American Separatism rather than full Laicism.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - The Protestants are fellow Christians to us but then I get Henry VIII vibes and realizing that a lot of people in the United States are Protestants particularally in the South though.Seriously though,no opinion really.I do however like the idea of individual practice and decentralized structures.It sure gives you freedom but I prefer Catholicism over this.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - They exist too I guess? Not much to really comment on when they are the base Christians for my nation.


 * - Made up.


 * Reckonshireism - Best Christian denomination


 * [[File:Mebrouk.png]] Mebroukism [[File:Mebrouk-2.png]] - I have no issues with people who follow this religion. They can have rights.


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - I dislike Protestantism as I dislike all other abrahamic religions, however I'm very nuanced on this one. Protestantism of modern north Germany as I (more or less) grew up with is my ancestral and cultural religion, I have little to no problem with it as it's extremely progressive and secular. Other variations of Protestantism, especially in the USA, are extremely radical and disgusting however and should vanish from this earth. That said, I generally have nothing against people who believe in or practice regular Protestantism, when it comes to the extremes however we have a problem.


 * - Definitely the least-bad major Christian denomination IMO, but it still needs plenty of work, specifically, in how much leverage and concessions that these people give their Patriarchs. The Patriarch of Russia has an estimated WEALTH of $4 BILLION dollars and lives a life of utter luxury, while a good number of his followers are at or below the poverty line. And people, including the Clown-In-Chief of Russia, support him. But other than that and a few other issues, I have very little problems with the Orthodox Church. But it's not enough for me to join them.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - Fellow Christians to us,but just like the Protestants I generally don't have an opinion on them.I guess I am fine with the idea of Christian faith not separated from the church.Overall,they are fine.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - They exist. Can't say all that much.


 * - Made up.


 * Reckonshireism - You are better than Catholicism


 * [[File:Mebrouk.png]] Mebroukism [[File:Mebrouk-2.png]] - I have no issues with people who follow this religion. They can have rights.


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - I dislike Orthodox Christianity as I dislike all other abrahamic religions, however my lack of knowledge on Orthodox Christianity makes me hesitant to make further judgments or evaluations. As always, I have nothing against people who believe in or practice it.


 * - Don't mind them much. Muslims have contributed greatly towards both history, the sciences and the arts. However, I cannot condone more radical forms and practices of the religion like Jihad and Sharia Law. However, most Muslims are good people who only wish to practice their own religion, although ideally, the religion shouldn't take over the Western world.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - I think that the radical parts of Islam like Sharia and Jihad are bad and they make the religion look bad.Besides that,I do not really have an opinion on Islam.I have never been to a mosque yet.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - Islam as a religion is very interesting, and its existence has generated much knowledge and many inventions, thanks to the Islamic golden age.


 * - Made up.


 * Reckonshireism - Anyone who believes what Allah thinks shall be forcibly converted and has certain elements from Judaism. It caused more harm than good!


 * [[File:Mebrouk.png]] Mebroukism [[File:Mebrouk-2.png]] - I'm a Muslim btw.


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - I dislike Islam as I dislike all other abrahamic religions, Islam in particular is problematic however as it did not undergo any major reform like christianity and is thus oftentimes quite reactionary. That said, I have nothing against people who believe in or practice it.


 * - I have mixed opinions. The group is highly suspicious, but I am not sure if it's all part of a greater scheme or not. Therefore, I wish to thoroughly (and I mean THOROUGHLY) investigate the entire group for suspicious activities. But, until then, innocent until proven guilty.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - I have been to bar mitzvahs before and I personally enjoyed the songs that we singed along too.I also like the idea that you light up candles when it is someone's birthday and then family members come up when the person is talking about what they think is cool about that family member.They share a good amount of values with us Christians.This doesn't affect where I stand on the Israel-Palestine conflict.I believe that we should end the conflict.In general,a good religion but not the best.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - The Jews are unfairly treated in all regards, and have been throughout their entire history because of international bullshittery and conspiracy theories, whether be them controlling the world, or spies of Israel, or even them working with the devil to kill Jesus!


 * - I don't hate Jews though, just don't think the religion is real. So, made up.


 * Reckonshireism - Has certain elements that would be later adopted by Islam, and it's the source of global corruption under the wealthy few.


 * [[File:Mebrouk.png]] Mebroukism [[File:Mebrouk-2.png]] - I have no issues with people who follow this religion. They can have rights.


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - Judaism is a racist religion. I dislike the Jewish religion and find many of it's practices to be quite weird; however I have nothing against people who believe in it or practice it.


 * - Don't know much about it, and I don't really care.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - I like the idea about being your individual self and the idea of meditation calming the spirit in order to achieve nirvana.I am fine with this religion but really don't have a strong opinion on it at all.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - It exists? Fairly interesting, yet very similar in some regards to others.


 * - Made up.


 * [[File:Mebrouk.png]] Mebroukism [[File:Mebrouk-2.png]] - I have no issues with people who follow this religion. They can have rights.


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - I don't know if Buddhism should truly be considered a religion. I don't know much about it and I don't have a problem with it ig.


 * - Hinduism is a very interesting strain of Paganism, but in the end, it is just Paganism, and therefore, they will receive the same rights as any other religion under my system.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - The ideas of life being a cycle I can see,and also the idea about karma.They almost feel weirdly relatable with this religion.They bring up some good points about morality but can also be authoritative with them.Fine religion anyways but really no opinion.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism In the modern day, Hinduism (and Buddhism) is being taken up by white girls who want "WoRlD pEaCe" or whatever, other than that its fairly interesting, to many religious texts associated with it though. Dozens of books? No thank you!


 * - Made up.


 * [[File:Mebrouk.png]] Mebroukism [[File:Mebrouk-2.png]] - I have no issues with people who follow this religion. They can have rights.


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - Seems cool in places, polytheism is always intriguing, and some of the deities seem cool. Overall though, while I don't know too much about it, there are definitely parts I see as problematic.


 * - Certainly interesting, but still subject to our laws. I don't really care.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - This is an interesting religion to be honest.The idea of respect sounds nice just like any other religion.But still,I don't really have an opinion on this.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - Never really gave it any thought, but still, fairly interesting. I don't have much to comment on.


 * - Made up.


 * [[File:Mebrouk.png]] Mebroukism [[File:Mebrouk-2.png]] - I have no issues with people who follow this religion. They can have rights.


 * Reckonshireism - A religion that has no significant reason to exist anymore besides Anime and cultural presence in Japan, in other countries and in any areas that have a progressive and liberal presence.


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - Shinto is certainly a interesting religion. While I've heard much bad about it, I haven't done enough research to evaluate it myself yet. I do however respect some of their beliefs and traditions, specifically the Kitsune and related entities.


 * - Even as a Non-Denominational Christian, I really don't mind Pagans all that much, as long as they follow the law. Just another group of religions, nothing more, nothing less.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - As a Christian,this is the reason why we have Christmas.Santa Claus going around and delivering presents to everyone around the world.They also believe in animals? I don't know.Paganism has influenced us in a lot of ways but believing in animals? They are up to something interesting.I guess I am fine with Paganism anyways.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - A mess of various religions, personally I fall under the Britano-Gallic area. Paganism is great, although human sacrifice is pretty... not good. But that was the old days, wasn't it?


 * - Pagans are larpers, sorry. Made up.


 * Reckonshireism - European Pagans are the true Pagans, while non-European pagans are fake pagans


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - Extremely based. While they are heretics, many of them are the closest to the truth out of everyone. I have a lot of respect for most pagan religions and many people who practice and study them (though there are bad apples). Their revival I view extremely positively, even revisionism and syncretism can be done well in some rare cases. I love non-abrahamic religious diversity and pagans are at the forefront of bringing it about with their usually pretty based religions. Also important to note is the cultural aspect, while I believe ethnic religions must inherently be false due to their rules, such rules in pagan religions are usually just made up by racists as opposed to (semi-)organized religions like Judaism and Yazidism; I do like the idea of reviving your ancestral religion and each nation having one of it's own, trying to actually restrict it however is stupid and nonsensical. All that being said, I respect most pagans and their religions, while heretics, they are based and I support them.


 * - Eh, I don't mind the people who are actually serious about being Satanists (although I do believe they will be judged accordingly in the end, on a personal and spiritual level). Again, just another religion. ATHEISTIC Satanism on the other hand is a total LARP and is a complete laughingstock.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - I am against Satanism.It's constant influence on our music,culture,and other areas of entertainment are just plain deplorable.I can at least respect the people that are Satanists as humans.I guess that is what religious freedom is for.And I know that Satanists tend to be more socially progressive,but a lot of Satanism about eternal suffering and believing in the devil is just so inane.In general,just a bad religion.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - I'm conflicted on both atheistic and theistic Satanism. Personally, I'm not knowledgeable in the subject, but from what I can tell both are very interesting.


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - BASED AF! While this doesn't describe a single religion in any capacity, it's a very interesting and oftentimes based umbrella category of religions I've had much experience and fun researching over the past years of my life. There are certainly bad apples, which should be condemned, but a lot of the diversity is great and interesting to look into. While I see other satanic religions as heretical, they are on the right path and all (except the aforementioned bad apples) get the seal of approval from me.


 * - It's OK to be undecided, especially today. I think that God would understand in the end.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - I used to be an agnostic myself,and I understand why people would have a neutral stance on religion.I moved away from agnosticism because I felt that God exists on this Earth and the universe just didn't start for no reason.I mean we don't even know when the universe really started,we are just making predictions.God makes the universe stay eternal,and heaven stay eternal.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - This was me for a while, trying to decide whether or not strict atheism or polytheistic paganism was the correct choice for me. I wish agnostics a very good day, don't feel forced to pick religion or atheism!


 * - Respectable position to take on religion to be honest. But, too soft for me.


 * [[File:Mebrouk.png]] Mebroukism [[File:Mebrouk-2.png]] - I won't oppress anyone only because He/She doesn't follow any religion, Why should I be a theocrat?


 * Reckonshireism - Agnostics have no feelings of the existence/non-existence of god and they must forced to be converted.


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - Pretty much the most reasonable position to take on this topic - while I myself am religious I see Agnosticism as the most rational position, especially when you haven't had any personal experiences proving religion. I can respect agnostics and their abstinence from the topic and/or waiting for evidence.


 * - The killer of superstition everywhere. I never really minded atheists all that much, as I believe it's their decision to believe in whatever, but I also believe that society should be built upon a secular core. Religion should ideally be an entirely personal matter apart from the state, with the only constraint being the law.


 * [[File:Svokxzismgreeniconimproved.png]] Svokxzism - I find that atheism is bad because you don't believe in a spirit or anything.It is hard to be moral if you are not religious.And the silly fedoras they put on their head.We cannot let the world descend into atheism at all.


 * [[File:HighDefLukk.png]] Lukkoism - I personally was an atheist all my life, as I had learned science from a young age, and my basic looks at religions like Christianity just made me think religion was stupid and people who followed them were stupid. I of course no longer believe this. Reddit Atheists (Antitheists) should not be the focal point of theists when looking at atheists, as they are stupid. I personally agree with a secular style of government, as not everyone believes in the same god(s), and forcing religious law onto someone who is not in your religion goes against right and decency, and I am also an Anti-Clericalist, as the Clergy typically are corrupt and use faith as an excuse to gain money and power, go against the entire faith they "belong to", and then sew hatred in their followers, as seen from the beginning of the catholic church to the modern day with TV Evangelicals, its despicable really.


 * - I've never been a religious person, I've been a practical atheist my entire life up until sometime in highschool. So, this should be obvious, shouldn't it? I believe atheism is an objective fact, and my mind cannot be changed.


 * [[File:Mebrouk.png]] Mebroukism [[File:Mebrouk-2.png]] - I won't oppress anyone only because He/She doesn't follow any religion, Why should I be a theocrat?


 * Reckonshireism - Atheists must also forced to be converted especially


 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought - Same as I said about Agnosticism, I respect their high regard for evidence and can understand their abstinence. Positive Atheists are annoying however. Believe or don't, your choice; just don't be annoying about it.
