I don't care about any religion anymore, as long as it is not threatening me personally and wants to force me to do this or that.Adama wrote: Yohan, Catholicism has sold out to feminism.
Catholics are easier to get saved than Muslims because they haven't denied the divinity of Christ, which the Muslims do, but it is still a false religion.
So far I can say, only Muslims have an ideology to attack and kill every infidel/pagan in 2017, no other religion follows such a teaching anymore.
Might be, it was different 500 years ago, but now not any more.
As a former Catholic and now strongly convinced atheist, I can really say, Catholicism was selling out its ideology, its faith to feminism.
However it was easy to leave Catholicism legally - I had to bring the Baptism certificate to the ward office and it was given back to me after a few weeks with a stamp on it: Officially removed from the Catholic church register/date - and that's all.
I was approached by some FEW unfriendly Catholics, especially priests and people near to them (at that time Central Europe was over 85 percent Catholic in my area) in the small town I was living and asking me directly why I left - but I was never threaten with 'apostasy', to beat me up or to kill me.
I never had any problem at my working places or in schools, despite religious information had to be given and there was a 'church tax' to be paid, even now. - All what I had to do was to write in any form instead of 'katholisch' to write 'o.B.' (ohne Bekenntnis = without religion) and this was it.

I am living now in a country with a small Christian community, maybe 1 % of the population. These Japanese Christians do not harm anybody.
Some foreign Chistians, often from Korea and some from USA are also moving around, but nobody is any threat to anybody.
Also some Buddhist and Shinto groups are asking for joining them, if not, then not....
There are even some Buddhist sects and some other cults, which are mixing up Christianity and Buddhism. Otherwise in Japan often land is shared by a Buddhist temple and a Shinto shrine.
Islam has no function in Japan, maybe it is 0.1 % of the population of 127 million people or so, with some Indonesians, Bangladesh citizens, and some foreign diplomats etc...

If Catholics are easier to 'save' than Muslims, you mean likely to convert from Islam to Christianity, I don't know, but I think you are right.
Muslims I noticed when they do not want to be Muslims any longer, they merely try to stay away from prayers etc. with excuses, they become silent and passive.
It is very dangerous in certain Muslim countries to become an infidel/pagan, for example in Pakistan. Even your own relatives or long time co-workers will report you for apostasy and blasphemy to authorities.
Other countries will not even accept your application to leave Islam, like in Malaysia - you might even face criminal charges if you try to do it in some Malaysian states.
In Western countries I noticed some former Muslims feel only safe if they move away from their neighborhood to another city and ask authorities to change their name while applying for citizenship.
