    Is it possible to criticize a religion besides Christianity without being accused of trolling or receiving an infraction?

    Those posts would get deleted and censored.

    Yes, the old testament is the source text of Judaism.

    So it's ok to criticize and insult Christianity and Judaism but not any other religion?

    There's criticism and there's criticism.

    If your idea of criticism is to declare "I hate all Scientologists, because scientology is stupid", for example, you probably won't get too far. All you're doing is insulting somebody's beliefs.

    On the other hand, if you say "Scientology is bunk because ..." and follow your claim with a rational, well-argued post, then you're unlikely to be moderated.

    And that applies to discussion of any religion.

    I have heard a moderator say he "despises Christians", and another moderator say:

    "Yes we hate Christians here, every God-kissing one of them."

    If these comments were directed towards Jews instead, I dont think they would be moderators anymore.

    Anti-jewish rhetoric used to be very popular in the pre-war era, not just in Europe but the US as well.
    But its fallen out of fashion.

    Frankly I'm not surprised.

    I've witnessed venomous antichristian remarks from moderators who if they had not been moderators and said the same about another religion would've had their post censored and received an infraction.

    So I can say, for example, Native American religion is bunk because they used to literally take knives and rip and tear the hearts out of little girls in sacrifice to the Blood Lord?

    No. They can coexist. You can even have both of them open at the same time.

    Absolutely, in the correct forum, of course. If you go bounding into the Physics or Astronomy forum where people are looking for real answers to hard questions, and begin proclaiming from high atop the sermon mount that 'god did it' you will be accused of trolling and receive an infraction.
