    You don’t think it’s okay to refer to people as Muslim or Buddhist but Christian is fine?

      Someone who is…

      Christians are different for the reason I already mentioned…

      Christian’s are the exception because they “took it back” like over a thousand years ago when they became the majority, it’s perfectly fine for them to prefer that. But it doesn’t effect any other group.

      I know you said you’re legitimately trying to understand.

      But I’m not spending anymore time helping.

        Thinking it’s not okay to describe someone as Muslim or Buddhist is pretty funny. I wonder if nationalities are okay, can I be a Finn or should I be “a person of Finnish citizenship” lmao. Come on. Wikipedia uses the term “Muslim”, pretty sure Muslims call themselves Muslims, everyone calls them Muslims.

        But I’m not spending anymore time helping.

        There’s a bazillion nouns used about people, thinking that as a general rule you shouldn’t use a noun, I just have hard time you are being serious about this.
