From the headline I thought it was racing, but this is also absurd.

I'm pretty sure I lost some IQ points in here. Can you help me find them?

the various religions emerge from the various human cultures. Human cultures are artifacts, the outcome of circumstance and habit, not determined by biological factors. That is why there are so many cultures in the one and only human race.

So white people should be Mormons? Because that's probably the whitest religion there is.


I believe that Wicca is pretty 'white', and there is quite a rebirth of Scandinavian Paganism currently.

I still can't figure out why anyone would want to worship the Moon.

Try replacing "race" with "ethnicity" and "religion" with "ethnicity."

But then it's a tautology.

There actually kind of is, but it's within existing churches, rather than a church in its own right.

Because we all know that Islam has never had any members outside of ethnic Arabs.
Because there are 1.62 billion ethnic Arabs in the world.
And no one outside of the Levant ever got into Christianity or Judaism because Europeans want nothing to do with desert people myths.

What I'm meaning is that in the Celtic countries, there is such a variety of Christian churches that it's not possible to lump them together as Celtic Christianity. For instance, in Scotland, among others, we have the Church of Scotland and the Free Church of Scotland (the wee frees). The difference between these churches is quite startling and it's hard to believe they even originated in the same country. And does Catholicism go into the group of Celtic Christian churches? That wouldn't make sense, as Catholicism is the same throughout the world. I've been in Catholic churches in many countries and the congregations definitely follow the same doctrine. If Catholicism is not one of these Celtic Christian churches that the OP speaks about, we're excluding the majority of Christians in Ireland. So, as they are Celtic, would the Catholics in Ireland be happier if they converted to one of these Celtic churches?

I'm actually just having a bit of fun with this thread, because the OP's suggestion sounds unusual, to say the least.

So many kinds of stupid in this statement its hard to know where to begin.

The OP's homeland had one of its golden ages under Islam so he should start facing east pronto!

But the OP is going to have to break the bad news to the majority of Moslems that they cant be Moslem because they are not arabs.

The number of muslims in East Asians countries like Indonnesia, Malaysia, and Bangladesh, out number the entire population of the Arab world. Thats alot people the OP has to UN-convert.

But on the plus side White European descent people like me can go back to our true relgions- worshipping the Gods of Valhalla. Thor comic books have more pictures than the Bible so they make a better more user friendly Holy Book!

What if the topic was, A religion for each political race?

As muslims take more space in the European realm, religious issues have become part of the political agenda.
Even in secular Sweden, the inclusion of racist party Sweden Democrats in the Riksdag, have forced all other parties to take an even firmer stance against racism. So far it has actually worked against their agenda, making it even harder to discuss immigration politics.

A race for political position.
