Islam and Christianity are touted to be Religions of Equality and their oft touted USP is that all are treated equally in their religions.
I know for a fact that Those who convert to Christianity are not treated equally.
We do witness special Churches for the converts , especially for those from the SC ,ST community.
There are also instances in Tamil Nadu where the Dalit Christians(how they remain Dalits after Joining Christianity I can not fathom!) have revolted against the Church for not treating them equally with others.
One also witnesses the specter of severe infighting for plum post in Churches like the CSI between the Sc/ST Group and the others!
.Normally the former hold all posts.
A Syrian Christian from Kerala would never dream of allowing matrimony with the other groups.
Not to forget the Protestant and Catholic feuds.
For a religion of equality and tolerance, you have so many divisions among them one is at a loss to keep track of them!
Roman Catholics,Syrian Christian,Greek Orthodox,Armenia,Protestantism,s,Anglicanism, Pentecostalism,Seventh day Adventists,Calvinism.....
Islam is no different.
Shia, Sunni takes the cake.
They fight each other more than with others.
Even the mosques are separate for Converts.
the same problem with SC/ST converts.
Like Christians they would not marry with them.
I was curious whether my impressions are biased and checked the internet.
This is the result.
