I’ll skip the right vs. wrong argument and give you a conclusion; it’s wrong and since you know enough to ask the question, I’ll give you credit for being able to imagine some arguments as to why that’s my conclusion.

Instead I’ll give you a benefit analysis:

If a person’s piety doesn’t cause you harm, then you’re probably doing yourself a disservice.   You’ll end up surrounding yourself with people exactly like you, and since we tend to learn through conflict, disagreement, and situations with which we aren’t familiar, you’ll end up excluding yourself from countless intellectual & emotional learning experiences.  You may find life is much easier with a homogenous surrounding, but I don’t think you’ll find it is better.

In short, I think you’re screwing yourself, but WTF do I know?

I can say that regardless of whether I should or shouldn’t, I do dislike people if they’re religious.

I’m not trying to be offensive to anyone, I’m just stating the reality of my personality at this current juncture in time. I’m not sure if its valid or not to use piety as a basis for disliking people, so what do you tumblrers think?
