Name one thing you like the most and hate the most about each of these cultures. Please be sure its respectful and compassionate criticism (though harsh is ok), but hate speech and slurs will be blocked on site.
1. Atheists
2. Christians
3. Muslims
4. Jews
@freemo 1: (Good) Tend to think things through from first principles. (Bad) Downright dogmatic in their rejection of any possible spiritual reality.
2: (Good) Developed human rights and modern civilization (Bad) Everyone else is going to hell, and that was used to rationalize bad actions.
3: (Good) Strong cultural immune system, charity is built into their faith (Bad) explicitly allowed to war against nonbelievers.
4: (Good) Respect for education and brains (Bad) Allowed to exploit outsiders.
@mike805 I went abrahamic this time around for a reason.
@freemo Of course those do not apply to all or even most people of any of those faiths. But if you have to ask which characteristics of each faith have done good and harm to the world as a whole, those would be my picks.
Now we need to add Buddhism (and Eastern enlightenment seeking in general) to this list.
