Answer 1

you don't have to be religious to be judgemental,i know some from every side religious to unreligious to poor coloured to white ect...

Answer 2

I really enjoyed reading: THE POWER OF NOW & A NEW EARTH & THE WORK. I'm definitely not a religious person and I know that I judge people too, sometimes I don't realize it. Sometimes I'm a quiet person, but there are some people in my family who are religious and the only thing I've noticed with them is that they seem to be holding more tightly to their judgments more often than someone who has a strict set of beliefs. I guess it depends.

I know and it does seem that even though they say they're not trying to judge you, but when I was listening to your pastor he said "blah blah blah you're gonna go to h**l or there is a h**l or some stuff like that" and I guess my judgmental and questioning mind just asks too many questions about that. LOL

Answer 3

What are you doing right now?

We are all judgmental.  I agree that the more radical the views of the person, the more judgmental they tend to be, but I do not agree that this is limited to those of strict religious values.

Answer 4

We may be acquainted with religious, judgmental people. However, the people in the entertainment industry in southern California, who are rather anti-religious, are judgmental also, just about different topics.  Being judgmental is a human trait that is everywhere, among religious and atheists; it just seems that religious people are worse.   It is so hard to remember to "judge not, that you may not be judged"!

Answer 5

Athiests are judgemental too, they think they are smarter than everyone who believes in something. I'm an athiest, but not like that. Yeah, some religious and non religious people are very judgemental in that category, I don't know why. Why can't people just let others believe what they want and that be that? I don't care what people believe, it's none of my business and they should do what makes them happy. This is an annoying character flaw.

Answer 6

Yes, they are more judgmental than non-theists.

Check out Buddhism, more of a philosophy than a religion.

It is the most loving and accepting theology ever.

Answer 7

yes that is right because we are governed by laws and beliefs that we cherish.
