Just stepping in to point out that hating someone for their religion *is* indeed wrong, but when a skateboard company is 100% funded by pseudo-religious cult like Scientology, and your target market is little kids, it's worth at least being curious about what's going on. Add in a guy that no one ever heard of, who isn't particularly talented, who turned himself pro via said company, and it gets curiouser.
and also, hating someone for their "religion" is not at all wrong. some "religions" are fucked up and do fucked up shit. it's fine to hold people accountable for that.
Well...no...I don't hold just any Christian responsible for rampant child molestation by priests, to use one example. You shouldn't hold just any Muslim responsible for 9/11, to use another.
People may believe in a religion but choose to question or flat-out not practice aspects of the religion they don't agree with. They're also free not to agree with different interpretations of their religion, or acts carried out by others that are based on their religion.
This is all obvious. And the blanket statements you've written only promote ignorance.
