Inspired by some of the discussion in this thread. I don't think it's appropriate place for that discussion there, but hey why not have a separate thread for it

If I think religion is not good in general, am I Reddit and cringe and basically Richard Dawkins?

Others have already pointed out the links to Islamophobia, but to me a crucial aspect is simplifying things to the point where religion is the sole factor. For example, saying that Israel and Palestine would get along if they didn't believe in some freaking sky wizard. Religion usually isn't the sole factor in anything happening.
