Oh, absolutely, agreed.
Quote:it's not the greatest being an atheist in this country. No one bats an eye when someone says something hateful towards atheists. But it's a hell of a lot worse for atheists in other countries, and that's the perspective I choose to take on the whole thing.
You may not agree with me on this,
but this part of your comment ties into why I take issue with people saying that Islamophobia = Racism.
I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the bravery, individuality and sacrifice it can take for an Arab born in an Islamic country, to become an Apostate.
I admire an Apostate Arab, Islamic-nationality ex-muslim far more than many western Atheists I know.
