What beliefs?



What kind of beliefs? Religious? Political? Artistical?
How discriminated? By words? By lower pay? By worse position?

Any kind



Any kind of discrimination.

The question is, if you have ever been discriminated for your beliefs. For example, one situation could be if you're let's say a Muslim and you work in a place where everybody is a Christian or a Catholic, and you are rejected by your co-workers and your boss, you never get a raise despite you work hard and others who don't work as hard as you do get it.

It's mainly directed at being discriminated in any way because of your religious beliefs.

Please add the word "religious" then. Otherwise everybody has been discriminated and thus this poll makes no sense.

Not being a Muslim, I'm not entitled to Muslim religious holidays.

This discriminates against me for a religious belief I don't have.

Does this count?

christians...



I have found a lot of christians that i know have a martyr complex. They always tell me "Well I know people don't like me because I'm a christian, but I don't care, it's a sacrific i'm willing to make for my lord."

What a load of shit.

First of all, christianity is like the number one religion in the west. If they were jews or muslims, i'd have sympathy towards them. Very few people in the US hate people because their christians. They just like to pretend they are sacrificing something because they are trying to feel closer to jesus. Since when is self alienation good?

Give me a break. Go be a muslim for a day and see how that feels. If the racists don't get you, the patriot act will.

It's these whiny teenage girls with these inferiority complexes who latch onto Jesus Christ because they can't stand on their own.

Yes, I have been discriminated a little bit before because of my religious beliefs, it was not REALLY bad though, just made me uncomfortable.

Christianity is the #1 religion in the West, but right now for some odd reason, its a popular idea of United States teenagers to be an atheist or think that Christians are stupid. And its true.

Like I've said before, it's a lot easier to deny a statement to be true than to claim a statement to be true. And so many people choose the easier side.

If you stand up of your beliefs, people start thinking "That person is so UNACCEPTING, and so UNTOLERANT..." and it all comes down to "that person is so MEAN."

yeAH. A little bit can go a long way.

true that muslims to get racially persecuted.
but the world is changing like america.
tolerance is the new deal here. christians are seen as stuck up and old fashioned. america ain't that bad, but europe, wow: my dad's friend is a pastor at europe. people are amazed he's an engineer, they're like "wow, you're a smart guy, and yet you're a christian."
i mean, how can anyone believe in that bunch of &*R^, a invisible god? are you kidding me? let's move on from cavemen days now kiddies, science and evolution!

that's europe. you don't get that much in america, but like NA said,
