Christianity, Islam (the world's two largest religions) along with Judaism worship the SAME God. The only major group of religious people that you will likely encounter in the internet and in real life that does not have the same God as Christians, Muslims and Jews are the Hindus. Buddhists don't have a god.

Sorry, it was an over-generalization. However, my point stands.

When you're mentioning your God, you might offend people of other religions. If that religious person doesn't belong to one of those major religions, is it OK to sideline his religious belief because he's not a Christian? (Like, maybe he worships Zeus as the ultimate God)

Moreover, even if God is the same for those 3 religions, what about other religious entities, like Jesus?

PS: My questions here don't aim at you but just towards this whole discussion, as I know that you were just clarifying things.

There are probably more gay people here than there are religious people.

I'm Catholic but my very first warning was for saying "Carly Rae Goddess"

Why is this a discussion?

No, it's not offensive to say you don't believe in God. Yes, it is offensive to bag people who do believe in God.

It really is that simple.

Jesus is worshipped in Chrisitianity, revered in Islam and respected even in some other non-Abrahamic religions. Only Judaism does not acknowledge Jesus. It's not normally going to offend for instance a Hindu or Buddhist when an Abrahamic God is mentioned to them, nor Christians will be offended by Krishna, Zeus or other deities being brought up to them by other people. Interfaith dialogues are actually tolerated by most religious groups. The only thing that comes off as offensive to religious people is when you mock their beliefs and that includes the one posted in the OP.
