There are still places in the US where even being perceived as an atheist can be detrimental to your property, your pets, and yourself. In one small Mississippi town I lived in, I was shunned, my tires slashed, and my cats killed not because I had openly declared myself an atheist, but because I was seen reading Atheism: The Case Against God by George H. Smith.
That is unbelievable. Talk about intolerance. And they say they're the ones being oppressed and ganged up on. Oh how they love to play victim.
So they are dead against freedom of speech and expression, freedom of thought and even try to dictate what you should believe and even read. Communists anyone? These people are against freedom. They obviously don't support it.
Religion is pretty much a dictatorship, no freedom or democracy.
I wonder how they would like it if they were picked on for believing in god.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
