Hello everyone this is donk here I just wanted to say that the past few days I have questioned the rule Be Respectful,

This has caused me to be confused in the last few days. This is due to the fact that every time a religion related topic gets brought up everyone jumps on top of you like your doing something so bad. In actuality NOWHERE in the rules does it say you cant mention religion. And obviously this sparks controversy people (Atheists,and non religious people) get offended when someone say say simple "god bless" in chat. I get that it offends you and all but how is it fair that you can go around saying "god isn't real" "I dont believe in god" and we can say a simple "God Bless" in fact that offends me but I wouldn't force religion down your throat. If anything this rule isn't made right in this circumstance the rule is very ineffective since atheist and people who believe in a religion are both social groups and want to say what they have to say. And I don't see why both groups cant say what they want to say in chat without a huge conflict. But the issue I have is that the people who dont believe in a religion have the upper hand and people have their back and I feel threatened and attacked when chat is screaming NO GOD! THEIRS NO RELIGION ALLOWED IN CHAT! It is almost harassment to me since i was taught to be open about your religion because it is something that defines you the way you act and the way you interact. Even when I try to defend religion in chat I feel very scared of a ban or mute due to all of the hostility. I am very sorry if you didn't want to see this or if this is "against the rules" I am sorry but I wanted to say what I had to say. And one more thing to remember hometown is a place for all people and it is supposed to be mature I feel like it is childish to ridicule people for believing in something and make them suppress it.
