>Hinduism is authoritarian right
>Christianity is "libertarian"
Switch Buddhism and judaism
Islam is literally one of the most authoritarian religions on the face of the Earth.
The Quran allegedly has a law or rule for literally every aspect of your life, religious or secular: marriage, criminal justice, dietary restrictions, how you can dress, what you are/aren’t allowed to draw, etc.
>what is the caste system
Invented by the British to manipulate and control the Indians.
>christianity socially liberal
It has ancient origins and was adopted by the brits
Jesus literally says to renounce your wealth and give to the poor as well as loving everyone equally
The problem is that in practice, almost every historical society no matter the religion gravitated meandered somewhere across the top right, because that's just what works.
So you'd have to look at the theoretical basis/theology etc. but I doubt many people would get the difference, certainly not on this wretched place.
I'd choose another religion for the centre
Zoroastrianism
agree.
you must be american
you must have no understanding of christianity
Christianity is not about "muh wealth and authoritarianism"
Written Christian doctrine is extremely liberal
Jesus clearly says that rich people are unlikely to get into heaven. He uses a fucking metaphor that isn't subtle in the least bit.
do u know the difference between economic liberalism and social liberalism
compared to islam and hinduism certainly
The bottom left is libertarian socialism, not economic liberalism.
>Worship god
>Believe in sacred books
>without question
>not authoritarian
akshully jesus was gay sorry sweety
I think OP thought something along the lines of:
"I worship God, not men"
One of the reasons was that the concept of the chosen people sounds quite similar to the vanguardism that is characteristic of the authoritarian left.
Christianity then neatly follows as libertarian left because it includes gentiles, thus allowing for full (religious) equality.
Bible is anti-war and believes that everyone should love everyone
are you baiting me right now?
Left lolberts want to take property from the rich though and start anarcho communism. Christianity says "rich people exist thats just life XD" and theft is against the bible.
If anything Christianity is authoritarian right, in fact all religions are.
I answered how I think a christian should and got this.
Except the figs, the gays, the adulters, the apostates, the non-christians, atheists, etc
Rich people don't go to heaven
>Surely Buddhism would fit in snugly with Objectivism and Anarcho-Capitalism!
It's true that Buddha was less scathing in his attitude towards the rich than Jesus was, but he still believed that it was the duty of every rich person to contribute to the wellbeing of his family and community in order to be good. The only thing that remotely resembles Buddhism in libertarian thought is the NAP, and even there, Buddha took nonviolence to its logical conclusion much further than Rothbard or anyone else (encouraging vegetarianism, not owning weapons, discouraging violence in self-defence, etc)
Have you ever heard an ancom say: "rich people exist bro, it's just a test by god deal with it"
No, because Christianity is not left libertarian at all. No religion is really.
Excuse me how Is Islam centrist? Muhammad(PBUH) was a proponent of strong authority that kinda acted fatherly to their subjects. But that definitely isn't centrist.
>duty
>Buddhism
You're confusing Hinduism and Buddhism. Hinduism talks about duty to family, duty to society and duty in general. Buddhism talks about liberation from the system. This is seen as an "escape from duty" by Hindu philosophers and such are criticized by Hindu works.
The Buddhist parable of a homeless/poor man giving his blanket to Buddha is more "desirable" than a rich monarch giving thousands of gold/luxury/etc.
Buddhism is sorta libertarian in "self-help" way. Buddha tells people not to seek help from higher powers in their quest to end suffering. Telling people to understand the implication of their actions and to be ever vigilant in their quest. This sorta highlights a libertarian thought on "do it yourself, dont depent on others" idea.
Orthodoxy | Catholicism

Mainline | Evangelical
applying religions to a fucking political compass?
jesus fucking christ lol
I didn't mean "duty" literally, just as a part of right action and right intention. Wholesome, if you prefer.
It's true that Gotama Buddha stressed the importance of self-reliance, but he also emphasized altruism and moderation over self indulgence, and the concept of the sangha is clearly collectivist.
Hinduism isn't authoritarian. Indian society has been degrees of it at times, but Hinduism is not.
>Budhism
>Caring about personal wealth
>Libertarian
>Anarcho-Capitalism
nice meme kafir
>THE WHITE MAN IS BEHIND THIS
But doesn't american christians literally think the opposite thought ? Like if you're rich and successful then it means that Jesus love you and that you will go to heaven.
>religion
>liberal or left
