Against My Religion	comment	Describe Against My Religion Here, unless describing tropes is forbidden by your creed. Being tolerant of one another's religious beliefs is very important (in many 20th & 21st century cultures, at least (and some earlier ones, but usally in a much narrower scope)). In works created by people from those cultures, if someone says something is against their religion, other characters think they can't make them do it. Now that person might be telling Blatant Lies to get out of doing that thing, but it might be the truth. Other characters are likely not going to press that character about it. If the character is trying to make a point in The War on Straw, or simply Hiding Behind Religion to avoid some unpleasant obligation, they may invoke (or create) a Parody Religion that just so happens to be against the thing they don't want to do. Freedom of religion does entail that you are legally allowed to hold any creed you choose to believe so Loophole Abuse may ensue. Comes up a lot with someone raised Catholic, Good Girls Avoid Abortion in particular. Of course, in Real Life, many practices considered common by the majority may be expressly forbidden to people of a particular religious group. A common loophole use of this in real life is that some religions believe people have intellect, guardian angels, or a conscious that enables them to judge things as wrong that are not explicitly banned by their religion, and then requires they do what they think/feel/believe/know is right. Therefore, they are able to attribute their personal judgment as religious mandates. Keep in mind that most religions, especially the Abrahamic ones, view not doing what you can to survive as a greater sin. If it comes down to starving or eating non-kosher/halal food for example, the religion expressly commands you survive. In fantasy and sci-fi settings, religious mandates of various kinds may lead to Fantastic Religious Weirdness, depending on just what those mandates and restrictions are. In case of extrovert Serious Business, see instead Windmill Crusader, Soulsaving Crusader, Heteronormative Crusader, Moral Guardians, and/or Activist-Fundamentalist Antics.

Against My Religion / int_1463a028	comment	A variant appears in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. A suspect in a number of rape/murders claims he is one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and so the court cannot compel him to give blood for a DNA sample. This is circumvented when a brother of one of the victims attacks him, and he bites the brother during the fight. The saliva on the bite was "given voluntarily", so it can be legally used for the sample. This is Hollywood Law, actually-suspects have blood samples taken under court order routinely, and objecting "against my religion" is not going to stop it. Contrast that with Jehovah's Witnesses refusing blood transfusions, which has occurred and is legally their right, despite the objection of emergency medical staff.

Against My Religion / int_30a5ebfd	comment	In Naruto, the very religious Hidan of the Akatsuki refers to this quite often. According to his cult-religion of Jashinism, it is a sin to leave a foe/enemy/victim alive; they must be defeated and slaughtered in the most painful, blood-gushingest way possible. Hidan also calls on Kakuzu when they have to break into a temple, saying that it goes against his beliefs (probably because even if someone is crazy like him, you still don't invade or desecrate other peoples' houses of worship). And he also has a problem with Kakuzu's covetousness of money, because greed is probably also a misdemeanor to Jashin.

This is played for humor when another juror, realizing he can get out of jury duty, quickly claims to have just switched religions (and the first guy calls him a jerk). Another strip has Dilbert's co-worker refusing to go out with him over religious differences. When Dilbert offers to change his religion, he discovers that there is an entire religion based on 'not dating Dilbert'.

Against My Religion / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: In Thief of Time, the Auditors are disguised as humans and avoid being forced to drink tea (because they're not used to having bodies, things like eating are harmful to them) with this trope. The Auditors have noted that people will justify the most extreme behavior on the same basis, so by comparison refusing to drink tea shouldn't raise any eyebrows. Moist von Lipwig uses it in Going Postal to avoid getting his picture taken, out of fear his un-memorable appearance, and through it the secret of his criminal past, won't survive a picture. Making Money proves him right. In the Assassins' Guild Yearbook, a long list of loophole-filling rules to prevent any attempt by students to have a pet crocodile is eventually forced to concede that none of these rules apply to worshipers of Offler the Crocodile God. Then they add a rule that any student claiming Offlerism will be quizzed on the subject because religion is not a joking matter. Then they have to acknowledge that, to worshippers of Nog-Humpty the Custard God, it is a joking matter. Subverted with Mr. Dorfl. Normally golems like him take one day off a month because it is a "holy day", although they work 24/8 all other times. After gaining his freedom in Feet of Clay, Dorfl becomes an atheist and gives up this practice because he has decided that "either all days are holy or none are". One of the gods mentions in The Last Hero that he banned the practice of panupunitoplasty, a nonsense word he made up, just to mess with people. Another banned the eating of broccoli, reasoning that it lets his followers feel devout for not doing something nobody wants to do anyway In Monstrous Regiment the insane/dead god Nuggan has banned things like the color blue, garlic, and babies, among other things. New Abominations appear in his holy book daily.

Against My Religion / int_4a059a74	comment	The Mandalorian: During negotiations, the Jawas demand Din Djarin put down his weapons. He claims that his weapons are a part of his religion; he grudgingly relents but is soon revealed to have kept his wrist-mounted flamethrower. Even better, since Mandalorians are a Proud Warrior Race, it is quite possible that he was being perfectly honest. His armor is definitely part of his religion, and when the Jawas try to buy it off him this deal is dismissed outright. Similarly, he absolutely refuses to take off his helmet, and would rather die than show his face in front of others. Since he was raised by a particularly strict sect of Mandalorians who strictly adhered to "The Way," he considers those who wear the armor who are not of Mandalore, or those who are of Mandalore but take off their helmets to be a disgrace to their creed. In season 3, Din and Bo-Katan find themselves on a peaceful planet facing a violent problem. Their planetary charter forbids weapons in the city limits, but cultural allowances are made; everyone knows weapons are part of Mandalorian culture. Hence, they can hire the Mandalorians to solve the problem.

His version of Hell is a vast desert with a blazing sun, and the only thing available to quench his thirst is a canteen full of alcohol... which is, of course, against his religion. However, the demon in question also implies that any water he might come across could magically be transformed into alcohol when he drinks it, which leads to Al-Jabr refusing to drink anything at all while he's in the confines of Hell, even after his tormentor is apparently no longer paying attention to him.

Whenever the houseguests are put under a dietary restriction (Such as slop in the American and Canadian editions) they always make sure that any person with religion-based dietary restrictions are accommodated for. This was especially the case in season 20 of the American edition - one houseguest Faysal (who is Muslim) selected the "Hamazon" punishment, which would require the person receiving it to eat all the ham on a plate that was delivered to him. Even Big Brother Has Standards though - they instead provided him with a vegetarian substitute.

This is not well researched regarding Islam. Imam's position in the film is dire. Plus, he has two children to look after. He was stuck on a desert planet with no other food or water — in Islam, if the situation is dire enough to threaten one's life by lack of halal food and clean (no alcohol) drinks, Muslims are permitted to consume any available meat (meat of a lizard, meat of a dog or pig) or drink alcohol. Just to survive until help comes.note That being said, the alcohol was high-proof liquor, so it would probably have dehydrated them even more if they'd drank it.

Against My Religion / int_c3657bf5	comment	There's a story in which a couple of Muslim diplomats met with Vlad Tepes (Yes, that one), refusing to remove their turbans as they were only required to for the Sultan. Vlad was a vassal of the Sultan by force, so this was basically a metaphorical middle finger, like stating "Even though you are the most powerful man in the land we are currently in, you are lowly and deserve none of our respect." Unfortunately for the two of them, due to trying to pull a country with a nonexistent economy to a standing position, the constant threat of war from the Ottoman Empire, the raiding of border towns by Hungary, a staggeringly high crime rate, and the intrigues and plots from unwilling boyars and their crazy family clans, Vlad understandably had a bit of an issue when it came to respect. So naturally he had their turbans nailed to their heads.

When her very religious parents object to having her vaccinated, Dr. Brackett is able to summon the hospital chaplain who manages to convince them to cooperate with some sage words and biblical passages.

Against My Religion / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: One episode from the first season involved Franklin trying to save a boy whose species' religion holds that surgery allows the soul to escape. Dr. Franklin realizes that surgery is the only way to save the child, but his parents insist that it not be done, as they would rather their son die than lose his soul. His parents are entirely sincere in their beliefs, and when Franklin goes behind their back to perform the surgery, they kill their son, sincerely believing the surgery robbed him of his soul. This is likely a more extreme counterpart to the Real Life Jehovah's Witnesses' refusal of blood transfusions. In more lighthearted examples, Ivonova ends up having a discussion with her family rabbi about whether or not an alien dish called treel is kosher (eventual ruling: It's not mentioned by name in the Bible, so it's probably OK). Ivonova herself does not appear to keep kosher, seeing as her only objection to Marcus using his contacts in the Rangers to provide her with bacon and eggs (foods which are apparently hard to get on space stations) was that Sheridan and Garibaldi spent that breakfast staring at her plate and drooling.

Against My Religion / int_fba5cfda	comment	The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali: Rukhsana's parents have a hard time accepting her as a lesbian as they're Muslims, with homosexuality traditionally being forbidden. On the same note, they're afraid that their family and friends will react poorly to her lesbianism too as a result.
