MODERATORS
Your response doesn't make sense to me. I'm referring to the four posts you linked on the atheistmemes forum. None of them express "hate speech" in the sense of calling for anyone to be treated hatefully, excluded from society, etc. They all express mockery or criticism of religious beliefs.
While this may be disliked by religious people, it's not the same as (e.g.) calling for them to be discriminated against as individuals, driven out of society, etc. which are all commonplace anti-LGBTQ+ remarks from American, Russian, or African right-wingers.
"Hate speech" does not mean "speech that I hate".
I still ask you to give me a post where c/christians were calling for someone
to be treated hatefully, excluded from societyThey literally had a rule excluding an entire marginalized group.
Are you saying excluding a whole group based on sexuality from their community isn't discrimination?
I didn't say they were. I said that the four links you provided did not seem to be examples of the thing you were claiming ("hate speech against religious people").
I said a very specific thing. Please don't read into it the thing that you wished that I had said, in order to have an argument that you wanted to have.
