Oh, not with the "divisions in society" thing. It's irrelevant. The only way there wouldn't be divisions in any way would be if everyone was all exactly the same. I'm not trying to create divisions, I'm trying to make people see that they don't necessarily matter. See?
Theological divisions in society is relevant. History has shown us time and again that these divisions cause war, terror, hatred, distrust and numerous other behaviours that are detrimental to peaceful and civil society.
I in no way, shape or form said that everyone should be exactly the same. Division in society is necessary (for now) in other ways, such as the division of labour.
I'm not saying that everyone should immediately discard their beliefs, but they should try to heal these divisions. For instance, if you belong to a particular religious institution that is divided into sects, you should try to find the commonality, and focus on what you have alike, rather than on your differences. At the same time, you should acknowledge that there are people that are of other religious belief and people who are not religious.
Ultimately, we should have a world where people would describe themselves or others as simply; religious, not religious or Enlightened (this requires at least a basic understanding of the actual nature of the Universe).
You are contributing to these divisions and perpetuating them if you continually make references to them (and the English language and other languages are full of divisive religious terms).
But religions are theological divisions. It isn't possible to have different religions without divisions.
What you are saying is that if everyone believed the same thing, there wouldn't be religion-bashing. That's a point so obvious it wasn't worth you making it.
The OP isn't creating divisions in society. The OP is speaking out AGAINST divisions in society.
I am not saying that everyone should believe the same thing, as that would lead to stagnation of thought and progress in society.
What I am saying, is that theological divisions, whether you are religious or not religious cause problems in society.
The poster is creating divisions in society, because they have a thought, idea or concept in their mind, and they used those thoughts, ideas or concepts to express divisive behaviour.
So you are saying that we either believe all the same and get stagnation, or we don't all believe the same and get a divided society. Either way you are saying we all lose. I don't agree.
The last thing you say makes no sense. The poster has a thought in their mind, but in no way does it express divisive behaviour. Which groups do you think the OP is dividing?
No, I have already said it once, and I will say it again. that we should have freedom of belief and expression.
In my opinion, what we need to do is believe in ourselves and that which is real. We have been stubbornly clinging on to archaic belief systems, that I think are creating division In society and the detrimental effects thereof.
I think that everyone should take more responsibility for their own actions, and stop spreading these divisive behaviours around through vocabulary and/or participation in these antiquated belief systems.
Is it normal that I'm tired of anti-Christians?

If people did not create theological divisions in society, no one would be bashing anyone over religion.

Agreed.
