      It’s a joke. Like religion. But even within the confines of religious beliefs, only some religions believe in Jesus, so the hundreds of other religions that are followed would ostensibly not approve of worship of Jesus.

      But yeah, any such beliefs are fiction anyway.

        A lot of polytheistic religions do regard Jesus as another deity. I think the main religions that disapprove would be Judaism, Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses, other Unitarian groups, and Atheism

              Well, you clearly don’t have a grasp on what the full meaning of either is. But I am exactly as I stated. You should not presume to know other people especially strangers you’ve never met.

                Jewish atheism is the atheism of people who are ethnically and (at least to some extent) culturally Jewish.

                “Jewish atheism” is not a contradiction because Jewish identity encompasses not only religious components but also, and for most Jews mainly, ethnic and cultural ones. Jewish law’s emphasis on descent through the mother means that even religiously conservative Orthodox Jewish authorities would accept an atheist born to a Jewish mother as fully Jewish.

                I was talking about religion. It’s impossible to be a religious Jew and an Atheist. Sure, “Jew” means a lot of things such as race and a culture, but this conversation was about religion so mixing it like that is intellectually dishonest, so it’s best to nip it in the bud before people start twisting words with different definitions. Jesus was ethnically a Jew, so were the Disciples and many in the Church to this day are ethnically Jews, so to claim Jews are against Jesus and to start talking about race is a dangerous rabbit-hole.
