As I am living in Jakarta - ID, interfere anyone’s religions is someway natural. As natural as asking “What’s your name?” or “What’s your job now?

Answer 1

I hate religious people who make false statements and create trouble and problem for others. If you find such people avoid them and didnt let them to interfere in personal matters. They don't have any job so for getting money, they will whatever evil things. That why so many new members are here who speaks only religious things.

Answer 2

I am currently living in Indonesia where religious people are almost 80-90% of the population. So let me elaborate what is truly happen here and how will it be if you were living among of these bunch of people.

I am deeply sorry that Religious people SHOULD NOT interfere anyone despite of they have the same thoughts or not. It is disgusting to hear that people should know you deeper by knowing your faith and who’s the God name.

Ok, as I said,

As I am living in Jakarta - ID, interfere anyone’s religions is someway natural. As natural as asking “What’s your name?” or “What’s your job now?”. these kind of interference includes :

1. People will always ask you to do everything in a basis of Bible and it’s Verses

For example, I was born as a Catholic. However, my Catholic friends were all keeping me living in a Catholic way like : “Mate, ur GF is Moslem, we should find someone who has a same faith with you”. They would even dare to share you verses to show how sin you are. Although they were having a same background as you, it gives me like “Eww, what’s your problem Mate? She’s my girl, not yours”.

2. You will lack of opportunity to show up yourself although there were nothing wrong with that

Everything you have done will be Harom and Harom although it has nothing wrong with that. Everytime during Ramadhan, I am strongly prohibited to eat in public area during fasting month. Every store are required to put a shade/ curtain so no one can see through. They will say it like “be respectful” but it somehow giving an injustice to whom didn’t celebrate it. Furthermore, your friend (even the close one) will be dare to ask “whao, you’re eating, seems you’re a Non-moslem”.

3. Religion will become something MUST have in the society and you will be marked negatively if you don’t have one

In Indonesia, God has been mentioned on the top first thing in their ideology of Pancasila, moreover, Indonesian are having traumatic with Communism after the massacre in 1965. It is so pity that during the New Order, many of teachers were all brainwashed by a paradigm that “Irreligious = Communist”. It is a very shocking me out as “Well, not all Atheists are Communist, although Communists are atheist”. Hence, you will always being asked whenever you register yourself for a school, for a job, for a governmental papers, even to become a politician. They will always keep wondering what is your religion with a couple of reason like :

“Knowing your kid’s religion will makes us easier to give them a proper subject”

“Knowing your religion will makes us able to give you the exact day off (either Eid Al Fitr, or Christmas, or Deepavali)”

I guess that’s my point of view along with my terrible experience to live with religious people.

I am still an atheist at this moment and no wonder if I will be back or convert myself. But forget it, Let it be my personal choice as I will never ask anyone’s faith and why they preferred to do so...

Nothing will happen if we did not follow any religion. The religious people are fake and living to get money from other without doing any job.

Answer 3

It depends on who is the religious people. If they are a good role model and do not interfere in one's life that is good like one of the popes before that touches the lives of many people even children. 

Answer 4

I don't hate religious people but I would hate them if they started judging my actions. My mother is a Jehova's Witness and my father is a Catholic. I would say that when someone speaks a particular bible verse, the conversation becomes a debate. It just annoys me every time. But I really do admire people who take actions based on their beliefs which a few religious people do. Most of them are just a bunch of hypocrites.

Answer 5

I like religious people.  Am one too.  What you call personal or private life may not be pleasing to God.  You may not know it unless somebody points it out to you.  Actually we are all sinners and just like a faulty machine needs a mechanic,  we need somebody to help us rectify our sinful nature.  Read Ezekiel 3:18-22

Answer 6

It's not bad if you are a religious person but don't go ahead of yourself to do too much of it people will not be free with you anymore in things.

Answer 7

I respect religions and beliefs of people. I won't call myself religious in a superstitious way. My way of seeing religion is from the Hindu scriptures which contain as much spirituality as much as science.

But, I do not like the people who try to enforce their beliefs on other people. I hate it when those old ladies try to make us do something because the religion says so. Of course, some crimes are unforgivable. But until a person isn't hurting anyone else, they must not be bothered.

Answer 8

It is true that the world’s major religions are concerned with moral behavior. Many, therefore, might assume that religious commitment is a sign of virtue, or even that morality cannot exist without religion.

Answer 9

I like religious people because they are the people who guide people on good morals and provide proper guidance when solving a problem

Answer 10

I love religious people because life is nothing without religion. as nobody can alive without taking breath, just like as without religion anyone cant alive with relax nurves

Answer 11

I like religious people as human beings. But I dislike the imposition of misinterpreted religious facts on others. To help me deal more patiently with these people, I see them operating at a level of ignorance. Seek the truth and it shall set you free.

Answer 12

I do not have an opinion on religious people, as I do not have any religious beliefs. It is important to respect the beliefs and practices of others, and to not interfere in the lives of others without their consent. Everyone has the right to their own privacy, and it is important to respect that right.

As a Christian I like religious people not because they are righteous but because of praying for others, spreading and preaching word of God.
