Too bad it doesn't mean what you think it does.

It doesn't state that you are INTENDING to have "two wrongs make a right." No one is claiming that's what you're doing, either.

Whataboutism in itself means that any wrong can be dismissed if you can bring up another wrong that you present as worse, or more encompassing. As you continue to do with the Chinese government, trying to associate their policies with atheism. You seek to squelch discussion of religious intolerance by presenting general intolerance as the REAL problem. The WORSE problem.

There are many kinds of intolerance, g. Religious intolerance is real, and one of them.

I am sorry that upsets you so much. But closing your eyes to it and denying it will only perpetuate it. That's evil.
