Do you think a community like r/TrueChristian or r/AskAChristian would be welcome on lemmy.world? (lemmy.world)

I don't know any true Christians who are MAGA or racists or even bigots. But with the commonly used definition that if someone says something is bad they automatically are seen as hating the people doing it many people arguing in communities like that would be called haters or bigots and possibly be banned here on lemmy.world. Even though most true Christians don't like MAGA and hardline rights they might feel the need to create communities like r/TrueChristian oad r/AskAChristian on exploding-heads.com or similar servers because they might think that their opinions are tolerated there. What do you think?

I'd say, replace Christian with any religion and ask if you'd like to see it...

When there is one you wouldn't like to see, like Muslim, Satanism, Wicca, Athism,... I'd take that as answer.

I'm of the opinion everything that's legal should be possible. That's the whole idea of free speech, that goes for everybody, no matter how much you disagree with them.

"..Satanism..."

Hi :)

Personally, I think any religion should be able to practice their beliefs. In their own communities. The trouble is that most Abrahmic based religions are evangelical and feel it's their mission to judge everyone, loudly and repeatedly, by their beliefs both in and out of their communities because to them, their religion is literally the sole truth and they don't understand the ill feeling that generates amongst people who don't need a god to tell them to be decent people.
