That is indeed, crap.

My race is Caucasian, is that my religion? No it isn't, nor is it anybody else's.

Nope.

The Fascists were wrong.

Admittedly I was slightly, but only because I forgot Christianity. Baring in mind the weakness of your argument I thought you'd take my comment of 'Christianiy' to be racist and thus wrong.

It isn't though. Saying someone from that race must be a follower of a certain religion would be racism, but that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that anyone who follows a religion classes the religion as an integral part of themself.

No, you were presenting it as fact:

Maybe both of you are right in a way and wrong in a way (and I am lost in a way)

I'm not saying something like 'they're white - so they're Christian', I'm just saying it depends on the part of the world in which you were born. If you were born in the Far East it is more likely you would become a Buddhist.

No, I'm using it as an example of how the followers of a religion are treated as a race, so the prejudice is racism.

Yes, the point is the same that they thought the religion was linked to someone's race (as it is), so, the comment is racism.

Will I get banned for sitting back and enjoying the argument?

Oh they're the same religion are they? Look your theory's already muddled
by your own admission.

No, and to think that is racist in itself.

No. That's not fact, that's balls.
