You are using it as a word. Words have connotations. Do we really have to go down to that levelEneT wrote:
Race is more of a concept rather than just a word and using it for a religious group or any other group in fact is not wrong. Maybe in your stagnant head you think it is because you're so deadset on it having a definition, but it isn't. Your understanding can only go so far as how much you open your mind.
I fully understood the part about the definition, but I'm still telling you that you're being an edgy fuck if you choose to go with that one. Calling a religion a race is the skinhead definition of the word, unless you supplement it with the word cultural, and even then it's not nice unless you are able to get your point across really well. If you don't trust me on that, go to a random bar in town and try it out. I bet that people won't be delighted to listen to you.
I wouldn't ever call a religion a race. Call it an ethnicity, call it a social group, call it a class even. But don't call it a race. People will jump you for it faster than you can imagine. And if they don't jump you, they will humbly remind you how a religion is not a race (or at least how you don't call it that).
