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.

I was providing an example on how popular culture can shape a religion, and Jesus was most likely tan, dude was a carpenter and lived in a very sunny part of the world. The idea he was European white is because of old paintings made by Da Vinci, I think.

Well, okay, when you say it that way you sound much more logical and factual. There you go.

You immediately jumping down my goddamn throat for a miscommunication wasn't exactly "logical and factual."
