Why is it that most people will judge you by your religious standing?

Because it's easier. Because it doesn't require them to come up with their own ideas as to what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'. Because it's easier to make a snap judgement on a person. Because people are strange little creatures. Because when all is said and done most people don't want to put the effort into enriching their lives by understanding how someone else might view the world. Because it's easier to follow rules in a book and then pick and choose those that you like and disregard those that you don't really care for. Because it feels good to judge other people. Because saying that someone is doing something wrong makes the things you're doing wrong in your own life seem smaller.  \n\nThere are so many reasons as to why this happens out there. Mostly I think it happens when closed minded people start trying to 'help' others find 'happiness'. Sure, they want you to be happy..but their methods aren't always right. People like that..should be ignored.

I have respect for all people. If you where walking past me and fell, I would help you to your feet. Would you accept my hand if you knew that I was a Christian? I hope you would, but my point is that, what I have seen of your religion, makes me think that you wouldn't. And its not my government, or my God(that I believe is god), that influenced my feelings on this. It's a combination of what I've seen and heard of your beliefs and the actions that make me want nothing to do with your religion. As a Christian I would hope you'd take my offered hand, but I can't bring myself to believe that you would.

Nope.  At the very least it shows that I am important enough to that person that they are willing to make the effort to remember me in their prayers.  Why would anyone get upset that another person is concerned about them?  It's not like they're trying to convert me to their religion.  They are simply appealing to their beliefs to help me.

If you are judging a person for anything other than their character then you are wrong. I teach my children everyday that they should get to know a person before they pass judgment on them. You never know what kind of personal issues or life struggles that person may have. Also when you judge someone you are putting yourself on a pedestal above them, but there are things in your own life that you are not proud of, none of us are better than the other. When I was a child and I made fun of someone my mother would put empathy in my heart by making me do something nice for that person. She would always say "There, but for the grace of God, go I." That means if it was not for God's blessings she could also be in that person's predicament. Now when I find myself passing judgment on a person for whatever reason, I stop myself and then try to be extra nice to them because more than likely they have to deal with negativity often. You never know what a smile or a few kind words can do for a person.

If they judge you and put you on the defensive, then it will detract attention from what they are doing. They figure you'll be too busy defending yourself to judge them.

God makes Herself known to each person individually.  If this hasn't happened for you (and you'll know when it happens) then you're an Atheist/Agnostic.  You're one of the chosen people to have little to no regard for religious dogma and to be like all the great Atheist thinkers of history.

Because they believe that its right and loving to judge people as they believe in a God that judges themselves.\n\nPeople need to realize that if they want to cease being judged, is to stop judging others. Treat others the way you want to be treated as what goes around goes around. That's the natural law of the universe. If you believe in God that judges, then you will live in a world of judgment with yourself and towards others.\n\nI believe in a God that is ALL pure love that is UNconditional meaning God does not place conditions on us in order to receive and feel the love, so therefore I have complete acceptance for myself as whole with no judgments and as a result I feel more of God's love within and in my life.\n\nYou get what you think.

It means that I have found a REALLY annoying way to be "different" than everybody else (so I can feel sepcial about myself) and has the added benefit of allowing me to make unreasonable and annoying demands on my employer because they have to tolerate my "religion".\n\nSo pretty much it means that I'm an assclown with low self-esteem. And I need constant attention.

I was raised to fear and respect the God I serve. Some people don't. I find it rather disrespectful, but not everyone serves the God I serve. So just like how we put our God in proper case, and their god in lower case, they do it to us. Us disregarding their beliefs is not different from them disregarding ours. You cannot push your beliefs on others (speaking generally of course). So, for me and you its like, "How can they stand to do that?" but for others, its like nothing. take care to look at it through their eyes also. Lastly, in spite of the way we refer to our God in writing does not make it any easier or us any more divine in our walk of Christianity, nor does our intolerance of others make us any better. It actually makes us a bit worse. Live how He wants you to live and show others your joy through the life you lead in Him. And don't get to Holy to laugh. I feel that will persuade others more than anything. much luv and stay safe.\n\nAngel

A lot of people get touchy when they are trying to show you their truth and you make a valid or logical point that doesn't fall in line with their beliefs. They are too stubborn or too afraid to admit there may be other possibilities because they have been conditioned to believe that you are damned to hell if you question any part of their particular religious doctrine. Therefore, if you don't take their word for it even if they can't show or prove they are right, the only way they can fight you is to shut you up or get rid of you so you would have less chances to influence anyone else to question what they deem to be the ultimate truth.

they have been brainwashed by religion to judge others who are not part of their religious ideology

Unfortunately, many mock my faith and perceive me as  a mere simpleton. I am oftentimes shunned by peers because of my beliefs and dismissed when attempting to speak my mind. Frankly, I sometimes find being Christian rather difficult because it is the only religion that can be attacked without being politically incorrect.

Because there are many ignorant people out there who let one incident decide their judgement about a religion.  There are also some narrow minded people who feel that their religion is what everyone should be.

For me, I am strong enough to realize that my fate is pretty much in my hands.  I feel good about making my own choices instead of having many of them dictated to me.  I also feel good about being an accepting person whereas many religious people are very intolerant of others that are different.  All living things are precious and any religion that tells me to judge others based on sexual preference etc. is horrendous.

they think they can tell how a person is by just looking at them. I've misjudged people many times only to find out that they're really good people. Eventually, I stopped doing that because judging someone usually ends up to be wrong.

I think everyone worships something whether they believe in God or not.  Some people even worship the idea of not having a God because they have to tell everyone about it.  I do agree with your idea about weakness.  I think that people who are insecure about their beliefs tend to try to recruit people to believe the same thing so they don't feel alone.  Those who are secure about their own beliefs tend to keep quiet and go on with their lives.  They don't need to feel justified that their beliefs are okay since they have their own truth.
