"I must admit to enjoying threads where people try to explain their religious beliefs but I find it offensive when some christians hijack the word religious to mean only their particular beliefs. Mine are just as valid and just as religious."

I agree - except that in this thread, the subject is about a Christian season so it actually does refer to Christianity. Generally speaking, most unfriendly references to religion on this forum do tend to be aimed at Christianity unless they are started by Christians who wish to attack non-christians. Thankfully these are few and far between.
