People should be able to choose whatever religion without being judged.

DISCLAIMERPro has not provided any arguments, but simply clarified that he personally thinks it is not fair. Therefore, I'm going to offer a rebuttal and then present reasons why people should be judged.REBUTTALPro remarks, "What I mean by being judged is to be criticized about it."Rebuttal: This definition was not given in Round 1, so I'm going with "form a conclusion about." Moreover, such conclusions could be bad (as in being criticized) or good (as in being praised).Pro continues, "Because they have different beliefs. And I think that's not fair."Rebuttal: Suppose I joined a religion where I have to beat my children on a certain holiday to express a religious message. It is sensible for people to judge me as someone who commits domestic violence, because most(if not all) of the people who join my religion condone such religious practice. It is true that people can make false judgements and over-generalizations, but if I want to avoid that, I can simply keep my religious faith private, as in hidden from everyone else, or simply ignore the judgements others make and prove them wrong through my general demeanor and good behavior.MY CASEPeople should be judged because...A1- Prejudice is often a good way to have possibilities about who a person could be, and then eliminate them as you know him to reach a proper understanding.It is almost impossible to form knowledge about a person without any prejudice, as you need to put him somewhere at the start and think certain thoughts about him. It's much like learning a new philosophy and always having a prior expectation of what it could be, before you get to know what it really is. I'm sure that readers who are reading this debate have already formed prior judgements about the debaters from their display pictures, proficiency in English and different perspectives. It is meaningless to expect people not to make such prior judgements, which could be very useful in putting up options and then narrowing them down to better understand a person or a subject.According to the peer-reviewed paper, "Advantages of bias and prejudice: an exploration of their neurocognitive templates," prejudice is good for the following reasons:"Advantages of bias and prejudice as evolved tools may include their: (1) speeding of scrutiny and improving of target detection in changing or uncertain situations; (2) aiding of a rapid choice of practical short-term rather than optimal longer term plans; (3) allowing appraisal of a workable world by creating fairly stable categories; (4) motivating of exploration and completion of problem-solving which might otherwise be abandoned too early[1]."A2- People who are public about their religious faiths are partially responsible of being judged.That's because they publicly state that they adhere to a certain group which is depicted with certain traits. If they don't want to be judged, they can be private about it and almost nobody will judge them according to their religious preference. ...SUMMARYAs I established above, prejudice is an important aspect of thinking which can't be avoided for epistemological purposes, and that being public about your religious faith is an incentive for others to judge you, as you publicly identify yourself with a certain group, and so it makes sense for people to judge you based on that.CITATIONS[1] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
