      2. So? Even if you think that, that doesn’t dismiss that it’s the weapon of the enemy.
      3. An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of humans who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. Attributes that ethnicities believe to share include language, culture, common sets of ancestry, traditions, society, religion, history, or social treatment. - The English Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia at en.wikipedia.org

        Is your argument that because that definition includes the word religion then they are the same thing? Religion is rarely ethnicity and even less so in the west

        Also in this case you really just equating white people to Christianity? The more I think about this, the weirder and grosser it seems.

          You could think of it as a set of multiple groups combined, that’s worse. Also, I never mentioned white people or Christianity, you just pulled these associations out of your ass.

            When people make bold claims with no obvious backing for it, people end up pulling things out of their ass.

            You still have not indicated what I’m supposed to know here. Saying something about a religion is disparaging an “ethnicity” for you but you won’t explain why. Citing the definition and having it mention that religion is usually part of it does not clear anything up.

            Religion is not ethnicity, and your insistence that it is, without giving anything specific as to the thought process, is sus on your part. You have been given benefit of doubt but you’re not utilizing it.

                If you’re calling a 99% white religion an ethnicity and repeatedly refuse to explain, it’s pretty obvious what a person would conclude

                  You mean, specifically Christianity? Even though I am repeatedly implying all religious groups?

                  “ethnic group” was poor wording and should have just used “group”, sorry I’m not English native. I do NOT support nationalism of global religions. The phrase is used by some religious people to call themselves that, I guess that’s why I confused it:

                  An ethnoreligious group (or an ethno-religious group) is a group of people with a common religious and ethnic background[1] or, in some cases, a religious background exclusively.[2][3]
