Poll: Which religion followers are the kindest?

[TarkanAttila]

Being a product of the midwest myself (though not NE)

It’s something you learn growing up in the Midwest, usually. You learn to get along with other people, and when you need to talk, you’re honest but not harsh. Or you try not to be.

Original Poster, did you mean people we’ve met in our own experience, or people we think would be if we met them? Because my next question - to the atheists/agnostics/UU/etc would be, have you ever met a sizeable body of Sufis/Jains/Sikhs to make such a judgement?

Because if it’s hypothetical, I’ll put up India as a friendlier place. No joke. From what I understand, Moslems, Christians, Sikhs, Hindus, Jains, and others live side by side, and practise their faiths in friendliness and relative happiness and peace. Yes, there are sectarian conflicts, but there are plenty of happy people, too.

While I have a very limited access to other religions because I don’t know too many people.

I would say Catholics, Buddhists, Jews, Protestant Christians, Hindus, Confucians, are among the kindest.
