<human>: Alright, well [THIS] for some reason made sense to me. I'm expecting plenty of down votes for this, but bear with me. This isn't a one-sided question.

I do tend to find that on here, there is a rise to arms of atheists to shoot down the simple ideal of religion (specifically Christianity). While I know not all atheists are hell-bent on exlaiming why all religions are bad and trying to belittle anyone who is a religious person, I think it's fair to make sure it's evident that not all religious people try to force religion down people's throats.

That being, when someone makes a post bashing not a single relgious radical, but a religion or religious community as a whole, does it not come across as completely hypocritical? Isn't the whole idea these posts tend to reference is how a religion is trying to block out the ideas and thoguhts and radically protest the supossed 'foolish' people who dare not believe their religion? If so, then are these posts bashing religion not hyporitcal of themselves.

Likewise, I also feel it is unfair for religious radicals to stuff their beliefs down people's throats if they, themselves, will not respectfully hear the other person's thoughts.

So my question to you, Reddit. What do you think? Is it responsible for one party to seemingly become hypocritical in their proclamations against another person's beliefs? Should people not just open up to the idea of accepting other's beliefs and leaving furthur discussions to respectful, and consensual debates?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Is it hypocritical for one group to denounce another's belief system but not allow the other group to voice their own thoughts?
