Individual Level

Being asked by one of my fifth grade classmates, “You’re Jewish? So... you’re Catholic? (“No.”) So then... You’re Christian? (“No.”) What else is there?”

LEVELS OF RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION

Fearing violence at my place of worship – having to have ID checks, metal detectors, and security guards during high holidays.

1. Individual Level

2. Institutional Level

3. Cultural Antisemitism

4. Internalized

Institutional Level

Limiting my college and grad school search to schools that don't require Christian study or worship.

RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION

The US government using my tax dollars to pay for Christian programs to convert prison inmates to Christianity.

Religious oppression is the systematic subordination of minority religions (in the United States) such as Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Native American spiritualities, and Sikhs, by the dominant Christian majority.

Global Religious Oppression

Cultural Antisemitism

Not knowing or learning Hebrew or Yiddish. Imagine not understanding the language that you’re praying in.

Knowing I was “the only” or “one of the only” of my religion in my class, my school, my town, my county.

Fun Facts

Internalized

Feeling "not-Jewish-enough."

Intersectionality

How does religious oppression intersect with other forms of oppression?

It’s wondering if, in my efforts to resist being converted by Christians and Christian culture, that I might have rejected my own religion’s god as well.

EXAMPLES

Race and religion:

1. Justifies slavery of Africans

2. Marginalization of Native Americans
