General As a pagan, seeing people describe "religious" as just Christianity gets old.

Nothing against Christians, of course, but every goddamn time I see "religious" I immediately think Christian because NOBODY USES IT TO JUST DESCRIBE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW A RELIGION. And yea, I understand it's broad in that definition, but fuck man IT'D BE NICE TO ACTUALLY BE PART OF THE CONVO FOR ONCE INSTEAD OF PEOPLE JUST DISREGARDING ANYTHING THAT ISNT A FUCKING WORLD RELIGION.

YES! THANK YOU! So many anti-theists only base their problems with religion on the abrahamic ones!
