I don't think it's the religion in general, but the INDIVIDUALS who choose to follow their religions a certain way. It is the individual acts out in certain ways. I have had Christian friends, some of whom were lovely, others... not so much. I used to be friends with a Christian who told me I'm going to hell and will suffer pain 1,000 times worse than anything I've experienced in life- because I'm not religious. I have a Christian friend now who would go out of his way for me, sends me gifts and messages me almost every day just so I have some sort of human contact.
A few years ago I was sitting out in the street in tears because my mother had lost her home, needed to go into rehab, but I couldn't get any government support to help her, they were going to cut all my money of if I had contact with her. We went and had a chat, I told him what was happening, he insisted on giving me some money to help me out. I said no, but as I was getting in the car to leave, he shoved the money in my hand and walked off. This man, who I had never met in my life, had given me $200 cash.
Another time, I was again, in the street in tears, this time because my mother had just come out of detox and relapsed 5 hours later. I went to see her not realising, and when I walked inside she was drunk, and handed me a suicide note she had written the night before. I left her house and sat my the service station crying and a woman walked up to me and tried to help. She drove me to my grandparents house, proclaiming she was a counselor, and that she was more than happy to help me. A few days later she called me and told me she would come pick me up and we could discuss things. She took me to her house, and we were chatting for about an hour. Then when she left the room or a bit, I was looking at a few things around the room, only for it to become quite apparent (based on the shelf of DVDs and videos and books), that this woman was NOT a therapist, but... a Scientologist. She was trying to get me to convert to Scientology, not trying to counsel me. She started asking me if she could give me some DVDs or videos to watch that would help me. I lied and told her I didn't have a DVD or video player. I was pretty persistent, though I didn't tell her I had discovered what she was really trying to do, and when she dropped me home, that was the last time she ever tried to 'help' me.
To tell someone you are a counselor when you are not, especially someone in the frame of mind I was in, is extremely dangerous. But do I think ALL Scientologists would do something like that? No.
It just goes to show, based on the few examples I've given, that the individual is the one who chooses to push these things on others, decided that THEY are right and that they need to 'help' others see the reality. But not everyone is like that. I don't like to put a judgement on a GROUP of individuals, but rather the INDIVIDUALS of a group.
