You hear the most criticism of Christianity because most Lemmy users come from predominantly Christian countries, and therefore Christianity is the largest threat to our civil liberties and most likely to have caused trauma in our lives.
Ask an atheist directly about their beliefs around Judaism and Islam (instead of this dog whistle bullshit), and you’ll hear exactly the same criticisms and condemnations that we level against Christianity.
The one reason that people need to be careful while criticizing other Abrahamic religions is that cultural groups that are predominently Jewish or Muslim have been historically minoritized and persecuted in western nations, so while we might condemn the religion, we need to be careful not to condemn the people.
I too like to cherry pick from something someone else said to convince myself I’m right, but if you do it online be aware you’ll only attract criticism.
For example, you forgot about the part where the previous post referred to where most lives. So unless you lived during the roman empire in europe I doubt christians were recently persecuted.
But keep believieng what you meed to feel better

I think something like that even deserves to be in the rules.
We could call it, I dunno, “Rule 3” or something
