How to pressure atheism on society

RE: How to pressure atheism on society
The Peoples Socialist Republic of Albania (Communist Albania 1944-1992)

Is the only thing that commes to mind when hearing the phrase "pressure atheism onto people".

In 1967 under the rule of the brutal dictator Enver Hoxha - religion and the practice of religion was officialy banned. Resulting in brutal oppression and human rights violations.

Why would anyone want to push a position on someone else? Gross.

I know right, we don't even have a vetting system complete with summary execution.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Invest in gold & silver not that monopoly money based off U.S. credit/debt which is $-16 trillion. That money is based on our word that it is actually worth something, think about it.

I really don't think it is a case of "pushing" atheism onto anyone.

It is more a case of "Just how many of you are asleep?" "How many of you are so stupid that you will follow rather than think for yourselves?"

The shame of humanity Sad

Ya, Tara Jo spoke for all of us on that, good catch!

If it were up to me, there would be a written exam you would have to pass before you could call yourself an atheist. The only reason atheists are cool at all is because most of us thought our way out of religion. When atheism is the cultural default, we'll be just as fucked up on average as everyone else.

The article's author is not really proposing execution of the listed tactics. I thought it was pretty obvious that she was having a go at religion by creating atheist versions of the ways religion constantly inserts itself in other people's lives.
