What religion do you view as most threatening to democracy and why?
Whichever of them says you won't be saved (or their version) if you aren't a practitioner. So, most, yeah?
Any EXTREMIST, regardless of religion-type, is a threat not only to democracy, but humanity due to their egocentric and close-mindedness. You simply cannot easily discuss with these people unless you share similar perspectives.
I find that most non-extremists religious people remain curious and open-minded and they contribute to the community and respect democracy.
From my perspective it's Christianity, probably because that's what I'm most exposed to and that is the group that comes out to vote in the ridiculous laws that get passed here due to their influence.
Thanks to all who responded (so far 37 people).
I ask this question because to me it's important on many levels - one being that democracy is at stake.
Here is my other question to you all ... what measures if any do you take individually or collectively to address your concerns?
A functioning democracy is a useful politicaI mechanism to avoid frequent civil wars, but I do not think that democracy is as important as personal liberty and limited government. It is perfectly possible to have a totalitarian democracy that commits mass murder, such as in France during 1793-4.
In the USA we have never had a democracy; we have a constitutional republic. And it is my impression that those who want our constitutional republic to be more "democratic" typically have little respect for personal liberty and limited government.
