Hmmm...maybe I wasn't clear enough. What I'm saying about atheists: some of them can think in categories and stereotypes in the same way that religious bigots do. They say "if you do believe in God, then fuck off." I'm just saying that's a bit harsh and inappropriate.
So you are more concerned with merely being offended, than say women and girls sold into marriage, and whipped for being rape victims, or being shot for wanting an education?
You are more concerned about ridicule than our government attempts at controlling the bodies of women?
"Fuck off " Is harsh? Compared to what? Harsher than 9/11? Harsher than the Dark Ages? Harsher than suicide bombers blowing up buses? Harsher than Israel bombing Palestinians? Harsher than the Holocaust?
I think your priorities are out of whack.
