Yes, I saw it, but you seemed to have mistaken the meaning of the word "abolished", and that fact changed your whole point, so I was going to leave it alone out of kindness.
To "abolish" means to "outlaw", or prohibit by law, so it would make no sense for atheists to put up a monument saying that we "abolished disbelief".
Nothing in your response told me that you understood what I was telling you, I'm sorry.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
