You were banned for whataboutism. We take it extremely seriously.

Taken very seriously, and applied very selectively. That mod team loves to put their thumb on the scale.

So if someone say Christianism sucks because it's a religion and I respond by saying all religions sucks, is that whataboutism ? Excuse me if I just think that it's better to criticize everyone than a specific group of person...

sorry pal but all of your critiques are textbook whataboutism

That's not really whataboutism, but it is flawed logic to conclude all religions suck just because you think one does. Whataboutism would be more like responding with "But other religions suck even more!" as a defense for Christianity.
