Please don’t call it privilege. They are/were the majority where this hotel seems to be located
in other words: they have privilege where this hotel seems to be located, along with millions of others, but admitting being Christian is a privilege makes me uncomfortable (because I am, or was one, and still enjoy said privilege), so please don’t say things as they are.
Whatever dude. I’m against the use of a victimising term in defence of atheism. We just don’t need that. We fight religion with reason and the scientific method, we don’t need to victimise anyone in the process.
Also, my point was not that things must remain as they are. Is that some things are habits, are customary acts from the place/region you’re from. Some hotels will have a small bottle of milk in the fridge but not coffee, only tea, because their custom might be that they prefer english tea over coffee. Some places will have water instead of milk because they see cows as sacred. Só many examples that you’d find very peculiar if you travel around the world.
So no, is not privilege. Most of this (before mentioned) hotel guests are from around the area and they generally pray with the Christian bible before they go to sleep. The hotel business is just catering to their customers.
Want to make a big deal of it, fine but don’t make a fuss if you get some criticism back at ya.
I guess their point was that it’s not a particularly unfair privilege. E.g. imagine if everyone was Christian, would it be a privilege? What if only one person wasn’t Christian? And so on…
