Eh. Maybe.
I find it at least a little curious that there is such a hatred for this specific word among
Christians, of all people.
Hopefully this will show up (it's not a publicly listed video), but here is a video from the Coptic Orthodox youth, reading a poem that was written in the wake of the bombing of the Saints' Church (el Qiddiseen) on New Year's day in Alexandria in 2011. The English translation of its main phrase is off, but in the original Arabic (amout b'samout 'ala deen) it means "I'll die...but I'll die
in my religion" (deen is "religion"; "faith" is iman, which is not the word used there):
It is about their willingness to be martyred for their religion. I would submit to this thread that for two millennia and counting, there has been scarcely a more Christian sentiment that can be voiced, particularly in their circumstances in North Africa in the wake of so many deadly attacks where exactly that happens.
(I don't know for sure, but I imagine if you went to Egypt and told people there that you hate religion, the Muslims would take it as confirmation that Christians don't really have any
real beliefs, and the Christians would look at you like you're saying you're an atheist. I think this attitude towards one's own religion and hatred for its "organized" forms is pretty much a privileged western phenomenon, and a weird one at that.)
