Your question would make a whole lot more sense if you added judaism to your poll, which would make answering the question slightly more difficult. This definitely sounds like a leading question though.

The way I think about it is, Not all Muslims are Arab. And being Arab does not instantly mean you are Muslim. Arabs look like they have brown skin. Not all people with brown skin are arab. Mexicans have brown skin and most mexicans are not muslim. Also, Pakistan is a majority Muslim country and they are technically not arabs. People from Pakistan have tanned skinned but I think they are usually lighter skin than a arab. I talked to a guy from pakistan on facebook and he told me he is white although he looks a little tan.

So skin color and Muslim are not the same thing. Thus religion is not a race. A white person or a black person could technically become a muslim if they wanted too, not just people from the middle east.

There’s a state vs dude case where they determined that specific laws designated for the native american church can’t be restricted to strictly native americans due to freedom of religion.  Try that in court if you got the balls but if you put any weight in that decision then religion is not restricted to race and vice versa.  Christianity is an open house, all are invited.

Religions are not races; however some races are named after the religion of their people because they're an ethnoreligious group. What's so difficult about this XUL?

This was posted in response to someone else claiming religions are races.

You would have to ask them.

It's a poll designed to gather consensus or a lack thereof.

If would be really selfish of a race if they told other races that they couldn’t join their religion because they were a different race. People would probably be sued for racial discrimination if that happened.

You can become a jew but not an ethnic jew for instance. I don't think any of them are discriminating

I was in the assertion that Constantines Bible plagiarised ancient ‘ways of life’ ... from the Gnostic secs , Jewish sage mystics, Egypt , Mexico , Vedic India , Zoroastrianism , Tibet , Sumerian culture and those native tribes that share correlations with all , Chinese mythology , ancient Jainism , list goes on , the crusader colonist  would of loved to of buried them all
these are very mysterious ways of life if you ask me and should all be seen to connect and compliment eachother as one big ass scripture of sacred science of the metaphysical aspects or spirit... .all quite obviously born from nature’s Gnosis thru their use of entheogenic substance...

Ones I find most fascinating to study at the moment is Jainism and Zoroastrianism
Vedic India In general  is very quantum like in its approach might I add !

When do the homework we can see which ones are their to groom for other agendas , and it’s usually orthodox

If atheists let the groomer orthodox  perception of god a man as if to be personified on some cloud , a mere man with beard ruin his hers own pursuit for truth then , that’s a terrible shame if you ask me
——————-

Check this

https://www.academia.edu/9293937/The_entheomycological_origin_of_Egyptian_crowns_and_the_esoteric_underpinnings_of_Egyptian_religion

Now let’s observe and say that Jesus is a plagiarism of Horus (lets also say that Allegros assumption on Fly Agaric was terrible when Infact it was Cubensis , same goes for G Wasson regarding Soma!)  , and also say that is symbolic for the envelope of consciousness itself , kundalini, or what ever else may seek to unify species ....
I think the scope is inconceivably waay above our heads And far too vast for us to understand the full picture since most of it is on a metaphysical scale

-But being atheist definitely doesn’t help the search for truth , just as the misled orthodox plagiarisms of forgotton ancient mythological cultures doesn’t  , they are both actually quite harmful to the truth ....materialistic science will never satisfy the search neither does it know the true nature of everything , only arrogance would  ensue... science teachers go through grooming process just same for example like your common clergy catholic priests do ,  they are restricted In what they are taught ,  and ignorant to anything else outside of its ideological assumptions and perceptions .....

I tie this up with a large quote -

"The more I read, the more puzzled I was by the order of the universe and the disorder of the human mind, by the scientists who didn’t agree on the how, the when, or the why of creation.

Then one day this student brought me Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. Reading Kant, I began to suspect everything I was taught. I no longer believed in the known God of the Bible, but rather in the mysterious God expressed in nature.

The basic laws of the universe are simple, but because our senses are limited, we can’t grasp them. There is a pattern in creation.

If we look at this tree outside whose roots search beneath the pavement for water, or a flower which sends its sweet smell to the pollinating bees, or even our own selves and the inner forces that drive us to act, we can see that we all dance to a mysterious tune, and the piper who plays this melody from an inscrutable distance—whatever name we give to it —Creative Force, or God—escapes all book knowledge.

Science is never finished because the human mind only uses a small portion of its capacity, and man’s exploration of his world is also limited.

Creation may be spiritual in origin, but that doesn’t mean that everything created is spiritual. How can I explain such things to you? Let us accept the world is a mystery. Nature is neither solely material nor entirely spiritual.

If we want to improve the world we cannot do it with scientific knowledge but with ideals. Confucius, Buddha, Jesus and Gandhi have done more for humanity than science has done.
We must begin with the heart of man—with his conscience—and the values of conscience can only be manifested by selfless service to mankind.

Religion and science go together. As I’ve said before, science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind. They are interdependent and have a common goal—the search for truth.

Hence it is absurd for religion to proscribe Galileo or Darwin or other scientists. And it is equally absurd when scientists say that there is no God. The real scientist has faith, which does not mean that he must subscribe to a creed."
                                  --------Albert Einstein


So is it a race ..... each advanced ancient culture scattered across the globe had added own contributional piece to the great puzzle , so In away  yes it is , but they all interconnect so it also isn’t anything separate or divided (never use to be)  , just that each race has own piece to the jigsaw and the only thing that stopped the full picture being complete was the crusader doing all the dividing and conquering....

Is religion a race? Usually it's not, but sometimes it is more or less (obviously this topic was always coming around to the Jews who more or less are a race). Social issues don't fit into simple yes or no answers.
