I guess it can be, but as long as people don't mock/hate on my religion I won't mind.

I think Hebrews would tell you yes, it is a thing. They want their Old Testament god back.

unless you're christian, yes. or at least that's what the internet thought me

Why just christians?

I mean I’m Buddhist and musty ppl always be mockin Buddha n sht
And its fckin annoyin
Especially wit that Donald dumb Truck statue
And ppl be puttin a Buddha statue ina bathroom
U aint suppose to do that
And u aint suppose to put a Buddha statue on the floor or fckin dirt
Or any musty azz ground
Buddha is suppose to be ona platform or pedestal
Not some dirty azz ground tf
And the Buddha aint for fckin decoration tf
And the Buddha aint for no fckin entertainment
Like mockin Buddha ina play aint right
Tf is wrong wit u
And mandala aint no clothin pattern
If it aint your religion then just leave it alone
Like tf
And dont be tryna convert ppl to your religion if they aint wanna
Its their choice it aint yours

Agreed but then again they still have freedom of speech and freedom of press so it's really in the rights to say whatever they want, just like I can say that it's annoying
But yeah, it's annoying when other people decide what's best for your life and tell you what you should do
Not just christians but it seems they are the main problem in religious pressuring

This is probably a thing, since most religious people do not like to have their religious objects used for other purposes.
But they be doin too much

They believe that everyone but them will go to hell. And they see themselves as noble saviors of your soul when they bore you with their sermons or even insult you. Such a twisted mindset.

Why just christians?
because christianity is the white people's religion and you can mock it. that's what twitter and tumblr thought me
i've been on the internet for 10+ years and i have never seen such posts. you follow interesting people

Uh what? I’m black and I’m Christian. And mocking religion shouldn’t be justified because it’s a certain minorities. It’s not “the white man’s religion”? I’ve never heard of that before, but if I’m wrong please feel free to correct me!

Christianity is not the white people's religion, it is all over the world and there are millions and millions of not white people who follow the religion
You can mock a religion if you want because you have the freedom of speech but it's not really nice so I wouldn't
It's also not really smart to get your info from twitter or tumblr

I thought it was obvious I was being sarcastic, obviously not.
Everything that's concidered the white men's culture (a dominant culture), christianity included, is okay to mock. Wearing crosses as aesthetics is okay but imagery and symbols from other religions is unforgivable. That's why you're never going to hear backlash on social media over problematic usage of christian symbols.
That's the answer you sought for.

OK I'm sorry, it's hard to gauge the tone of people when they say certain things
Although I do not agree and don't understand how it's ok to mock white people and white things but not other races or cultures, I guess that's how you feel so I can't say that it's a wrong idea, although it's kind of mean to mock or be rude to anything no matter what the situation is
Although again I will say, it's not just white people, it's actually pretty equal for all races
Here are the statistics
