I’m sorry but this is an incredibly western take on religion. And this is coming from someone raised as a Catholic. Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism all generally teach a tolerance for other’s beliefs, and rarely use tools like indoctrination. They make up about 1.5 Billion practitioners worldwide, so they aren’t a rounding error either.

When I was a homeless trans woman (that’s white fwiw), I would go to Gurdwara once a week for Langar (communal meal). I was always treated with kindness, dignity and acceptance. The only thing that was asked of me is that I use one of the (provided) scarves to loosely cover my hair. Considering Sikh men wear Turbans though, asking that of me didn’t seem at all like it was rooted in deep-seated misogynistic beliefs. No one was attempting to convert me either.

It is against Sikh beliefs to allow anyone to go hungry, or to punish a “crime” committed because of hunger (eg. shoplifting food).

You just cannot compare that to the widespread bloody harm that christianity has wreaked on the world.

Edit: And I guess expecting me to adhere to the expectations of women that attend Gurdwara, was an act of acceptance in and of itself.
